Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 14:12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

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 14:12

Biblical Context

Outward fasting and offerings are not heard unless the inner state is aligned; true worship requires inner transformation rather than ritual alone.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your awareness is God, and the I AM within your chest answers only when your inner state is in harmony. When you fast or perform offerings without aligning your consciousness, you invite the inner sword of doubt, famine of faith, and pestilence of fear—the symbolic consequences of a mind separated from its source. The judgments Jeremiah warns of are not external punishments but the natural results of living out of your true state. See that you are already heard and accepted by your own I AM, and the need for ritual falls away. By imagining a state of perfect hearing and belonging, you revise the reality you experience. Fasting becomes a gentle reminder to relinquish the old narrative and settle into the presence that always knows you. The law of imagination acts when you choose a new state, and the outer world must reflect that inner alignment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and declare, 'I am heard and accepted by the I AM.' Stay with the feeling until it feels real, then carry that state into the next moment.
