Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 14:1-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

1The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.

2Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

3And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

4Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

5Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

6And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

7O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.

8O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?

9Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

Jeremiah 14:1-9

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 14:1-9 portrays a drought-stricken Jerusalem whose gates mourn and waters fail. The people plead with God for deliverance, acknowledging their iniquities while seeking the Lord who is in the midst.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Jeremiah through Neville’s lens, see the land as your own consciousness. The parched fields, the empty pits, the ashamed plowmen are inner states that have forgotten their Source. Your I AM is not distant; the Lord in the midst of us is the living awareness you already are. The cry of the people and the call to backslidings are the signal that you have persistently believed in lack. The plea 'why shouldest thou be as a stranger' and the request to leave us not are your mind's habit of doubting its own presence. Yet the line 'yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us' reveals the truth: God is the I AM within. Do not seek relief outside; revise your awareness to the feeling that the drought is over because you are now present as the savior. Assume the rain returning; feel the soil of your mind soaking again; when you dwell in I AM, the outer scene follows your inner certainty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene by assuming I AM as the living water here and now. Declare 'I am the source and the savior now,' and feel the rain of renewal saturating your mind.
