Biblical Context
Jeremiah 1:1 introduces Jeremiah as the son of Hilkiah, a priest from Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this brief verse the words are not history but the birth of a state of consciousness. Jeremiah is the inner voice seeded in a lineage of devotion—a priestly mind trained to utter truth. Anathoth becomes your inner sanctuary, a chamber where discipline, fidelity, and the sacred word are formed. The land of Benjamin marks the faithful ground of awareness where these words begin to govern thought and feeling. The verse thus declares your own origin: you are the speaker, the author, and the authority behind the script of your life whenever you consent to live from the I AM within. When you read these lines as your own, you stop chasing future prophecies and begin living as prophecy—a being whose vocation is to align belief, feeling, and action with truth. Embrace this inner line of descent; assume the state that Jeremiah represents, and watch your world respond to the authority you awaken within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'I am the Jeremiah within me—an inner priest of my temple. I assume the vocation now and feel it real.'
