Jeremiah 1:10

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 1:10 declares you are set over the nations and kingdoms to root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, build, and plant. It points to inner work—your states of consciousness shaping your life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the I AM as the governor within you. Jeremiah's 'See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms' is not about geography; it is a statement of your inner empire. The 'nations and kingdoms' are the many facets of your life—thoughts, habits, emotions, outer conditions. The commands 'root out, pull down, destroy, and throw down' are your inner movements to uproot old, limiting states of consciousness—renounce fear, unhook from lack, dissolve unhelpful patterns. The clause 'to build, and to plant' reveals the purpose: you are to erect new convictions, cultivate fresh desires, and plant life from the awareness of the I AM. The day speaks of present moment power: this is your assignment to operate as the I AM now, not in some future time. Your imagination is the instrument by which God acts; through a single, persistent assumption, you reorder your entire world. If you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the outer world becomes an echo of your inner decree—the old order melts away and a new creation arises.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of the ruler who already possesses the life you seek. In a moment of quiet, declare, 'I am the I AM over my inner nations,' and see old structures crumble while new growth is planted in their stead.
