Inner Peace Beyond False Promises

Jeremiah 14:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

13Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
Jeremiah 14:13

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 14:13 contrasts false prophets promising external peace with the deeper truth that peace is a state of consciousness one can inhabit from within.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's terms, the word peace is not a forecast but a finished state you enter by choosing an inner reality. The alleged assurances that you will not see the sword or famine come from others; the true directive is to possess an inner climate of peace here and now. When you align with the I AM—the aware self—and imagine peace as your present condition, outer appearances begin to mirror that inner state. The sword and famine recede as symbols of fear you no longer entertain; the 'place' of peace becomes your current consciousness. You revise the scene by dwelling in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, allowing the quiet assurance of peace to govern your thoughts and actions. Truth, not fear, becomes your standard, and faithfulness to this inner state converts prophecy into lived experience.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of peace now and dwell there for a minute; revise any external claim by declaring, 'In this place I am kept in perfect peace,' and feel it as real.
