Inner Heart and Divine Judgment
Jeremiah 17:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 17:9-10 warns that the heart is deceitful and not easily known, while God—our I AM within—searches the heart and tests motives, rewarding or guiding according to inner state and the fruits of our actions.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the heart not as a stubborn organ but the seat of your state of consciousness. When Jeremiah calls it deceitful, he points to the moment you mistake your feelings for the whole of you and project inner fears into life. The I AM, your higher self, searches the heart and the reins, not to condemn you, but to reveal the exact state you are living from. If you judge yourself by appearances, you will experience consequences that seem to come from elsewhere; yet every outward fruit is simply the echo of your inner decisions. The call here is to understand that your inner life creates your outer life; you are tested by your own ways and the fruits of your doings, and you are not trapped by a single moment of deceit. By turning to the I AM and insisting on a new truth, you align with divine law and begin to experience life as a revelation of your true, unblocked consciousness. So shift your inner weather, and your weathered world will follow.
Practice This Now
Assume the sense of I AM now. Sit quietly, place a hand on your heart, and declare, 'I AM the I AM; my inner state now is true and complete.' Then revise any uneasy motive by affirming a pure intention and feel that reality in the chest as lived truth.
