The Rain of Inner Trust
Jeremiah 14:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 14:22 asks whether Gentile vanities or the heavens can summon rain; it declares God alone makes rain, and the faithful will wait upon Him.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's view, rain is an inner weather produced by your state of consciousness. The vanities are beliefs of lack, falsely pointing to external sources. To declare that Thou art the LORD our God is to acknowledge the one Source within—the I AM. The instruction to wait upon the Lord becomes a discipline of imaginative feeling: assume that the rain is already yours, not granted by some outer court. When you align your inner disposition with abundance, the outer world becomes the echo of your inner state. Worship, in this light, is acknowledgment of your inner governor, the creator of all conditions. You are the rain-maker through belief and attention; fear dissolves as you persist in this truth, inviting demonstrations into the present. The verse reframes worship as a turn of consciousness toward the true Cause within, not as an external rite.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and repeat the assumption: I am the rain-giver; the showers of my life are formed by my inner state. Feel that inner conviction and remain with it for a minute, then observe any shift in perception.
