Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 18:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 18 in context

Scripture Focus

5Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

6O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Jeremiah 18:5-6

Biblical Context

God speaks of you as clay in the potter's hand; like clay, you are shaped by divine sovereignty. The verse invites obedience and trust in God's guiding hand.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture yourself as clay in the potter’s hand—yet remember the potter is the I AM that you are. The word is not a warning but a simple acknowledgment: your outer circumstance is but the gentle motion of inner awareness reshaping itself. What you call fate is really the activity of consciousness choosing a form. When you acknowledge that you are already held by divine intelligence, resistance dissolves and a new image can emerge. Your loyalty to the covenant is your fidelity to present conviction; obedience becomes an art of holding a new state in mind until it solidifies as experience. The potter’s touch is not punishment but adjustment, a correction to bring you into harmony with the truth you intend to live. So imagine, revise, feel it real: you are being formed by the I AM, and the form you are becoming is already present in the realm of awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the clay in the I AM’s hand; this moment I am shaped into the fullness I desire.' Feel the warmth of the potter’s touch, sense the new form arising within consciousness, and rest in the certainty that the form is real in imagination.
