Inner Wealth, Outer Justice

James 5:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read James 5 in context

Scripture Focus

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 5:5-6

Biblical Context

James 5:5–6 rebukes the rich for living in luxury and indulging themselves, nourishing their hearts, while condemning and killing the just who offer no resistance.

Neville's Inner Vision

James 5:5–6 is a record of a mind caught in pleasure, indulgence, and the nourishment of the heart as if in a day of slaughter. When you mistake wealth for self, you condemn the 'just' within and without, and you feel resistance where there is only the one life. But the I AM—your innate awareness—knows no contradiction. If you assume, 'I am abundant because God is mind,' your inner weather shifts; you stop preying on others and stop turning life into conflict against the innocent. You revise your feeling about wealth until you feel it as a steady stream of justice, not a weapon. The ‘condemned’ are those inner traits you refuse to own; by owning them in love rather than denial, you release the violence in your world. In this light, James speaks not of external economy but of internal state. As you awaken to true wealth—the realized oneness of all life—the external scene reflects it, and the 'just' is freed within you and your world.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the I AM; I now own inner abundance and justice.' Then revise any urge to see wealth as power over others, and feel this truth as real in your body.
