Courage to Speak the Inner Command

Jeremiah 1:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

17Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
Jeremiah 1:17

Biblical Context

Jeremiah is instructed to prepare himself, rise, and deliver every command God gives, without fear of the people’s faces, trusting that God will enable him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah is not a distant myth but your awakened self. Girding the loins is the deliberate tightening of your mental center—choosing a fixed, confident stance from which you can speak. Arising is moving from passive wish into decisive, present speech, honoring the I AM as the source of your words. When told to speak all that I command thee, you are not waiting for permission from an audience; you are stepping into the role you already hold in God. Be not dismayed at their faces; outer appearances reflect your inner state, and when you maintain the inner vision, they fade into the background. Lest I confound thee before them invites you to persist in the inner recognition that the I AM powers every word; with that certainty, the outer world rearranges to mirror your declaration. Practice this: assume the speaker, embody the command, and let your words carry the authority of your completed state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe, and picture yourself as the I AM speaking through Jeremiah. Assume the inner state, then voice aloud the exact command you now authorize and observe fear dissolve into certainty.
