Prophetic Self-Assertion
Jeremiah 11:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse recalls the men of Anathoth threatening Jeremiah, urging him to stop prophesying, with the warning of death if he continues.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's terms the 'men of Anathoth' are inner voices—doubt, fear, the urge to silence your true seeing. 'Prophesy not in the name of the LORD' is the inner veto that quells your higher self when you align with the I AM. The threat 'that thou die not by our hand' signals the symbolic death of a former self, the shedding of old limitations you cling to for safety. When you imagine the I AM as your only reality, you discover you can speak truth without losing life—life is the awareness you ARE, not what others decree. Your inner prophet remains unshaken; the world rearranges to reflect your new state. The LORD of the men of Anathoth sits as your current inner governor: is your attention aligned with the higher law of consciousness? By refusing the voice of fear, you birth a living, present I AM. Stand in that light now, and observe events bending to your inner order.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your permanent state. Silently declare, 'I prophesy in the name of the LORD and nothing can harm my life,' and feel this truth saturate your chest until it becomes lived reality.
