Eating Thy Word Within
Jeremiah 15:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 15:15–16 portrays a petitioner asking God to remember and vindicate them, while seeking refuge in God’s presence. They find nourishment and joy in eating God’s words, affirming they are called by His name.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville Goddard vantage, the verse reveals that God is your own awareness; to be remembered, visited, vindicated is to discover your own standing in the I AM. The persecutions are not external but the resistance of a mind clinging to separation. When you 'eat' the words, you ingest the law by which the inner life forms outer events. The joy and rejoicing of the heart come when your sense of self aligns with the Word; you are not waiting for God to act, you are acting as God in you, the name you bear. Trust that 'for thy sake I have suffered rebuke' is the inner discipline by which your old self is refined, not cast aside. The word becomes nourishment; the speaker's petition becomes a realization that you already are the one who knows and is known by the Lord of hosts. So, persist in the felt sense of visitation and vindication, and watch the outer conform to the inner.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I am visited; I am vindicated; I am nourished by the Word.' Feel this as a present fact and let the I AM rewrite your memory of persecution into a living testimony.
