Inner Justice Through Imagination

James 5:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read James 5 in context

Scripture Focus

4Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
James 5:4-6

Biblical Context

James 5:4–6 exposes greed and fraud that oppress workers and condemn the just. The cries of the oppressed rise to the Lord of hosts.

Neville's Inner Vision

James does not speak of distant judges; he reveals a universal inner court. The laborers and their hired wages are not strangers in time but symbols of your own energy pressed into form by belief. The 'hire kept back by fraud' is the mind clinging to lack; the 'cries' are your inner alarms calling you to awaken to another possibility. The 'Lord of Sabaoth' is the inner Authority—your I AM awareness—that enforces harmony when you assent to it. To practice Neville’s method, revise the scene from lack to abundance within you. Assume that you are the source of all supply and that fairness, provision, and justice are already true in your inner state. Feel the reality of workers rightly compensated; sense the relief and dignity that comes with right relationship. When you hold this inner posture, you no longer condemn or strike against others in your imagination; you permit the justice you seek to inform your world. By dwelling in that upper room of consciousness, the outer conditions rearrange themselves to reflect your revised state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, take a breath, and assume the role of the inner Lord of hosts. Revise the scene by picturing the laborers paid in fullness and the just living in harmony, and feel that realization as now true.
