Jeremiah's Inner Covenant

Jeremiah 14:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

10Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
11Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
12When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jeremiah 14:10-12

Biblical Context

Jeremiah laments a people who wander and refuse inner reform; their offerings and fasting are not accepted, and judgment looms.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the I AM's quiet center, this passage speaks not of distant punishment but of your own inner state. The LORD's words are the law of your consciousness: whenever you cling to wandering thoughts and habitual ritual while neglecting genuine alignment, the inner altar refuses your prayer and the mind assigns consequences in its own time. The "they" who fast and offer are inner patterns you have worn so long that the I AM cannot answer from them; the "not accept" is not a verdict upon you but a signal that you have mistaken form for reality. Jeremiah's invitation becomes a call to revision: stop praying for the old self's safety as if it were a solid thing, and turn toward the living presence within. When you align with the I AM—acknowledging awareness as the sole reality—the apparent famine, sword, and pestilence dissolve as outer reflections of inner contradiction. You do not need external ritual to be deemed 'acceptable'; you need to awaken to the truth you already are.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and rest in the I AM as the sole reality; then revise any habitual ritual-prayers by affirming, with feeling, that you are accepted now in the presence of the I AM.
