Delivering the Inner Enemy
Jeremiah 18:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 18:21 presents a call for severe judgment against an enemy, describing famine, bloodshed, and death as consequences. It carries a sense of collective accountability and the severity of divine justice.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's terms, all outward events are states of consciousness. The 'enemy' in this verse is a stubborn belief or habit within you, and the famine and sword are inner experiences—lack of nourishing belief and the cutting away of old patterns. By assuming a new state of I AM awareness, you starve the old fear and sever its grip, allowing a richer life to emerge. Letting the 'wives' be bereaved and the 'young men' slain becomes the dissolution of identities and impulses that kept you bound to scarcity and judgment. The verse is not vengeance but a map for inner transformation: when you imagine a reality in which justice, mercy, and security already prevail, the external appearance shifts to reflect that inner order. The key is to align your imagination with a definitive state and feel it real until it becomes your lived experience.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the state: 'I AM the power that dissolves fear and lack.' Feel it real by visualizing the old pattern fading and your awareness holding steady in abundance and justice.
