Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 18:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 18 in context

Scripture Focus

7At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

Jeremiah 18:7

Biblical Context

God's word declares power to uproot, pull down, and destroy a nation or kingdom. In Neville's view, those 'nations' are inner states of consciousness that you can reorder through assumption.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 18:7 speaks of a mighty power not over cities but over states of consciousness. When you name a 'nation' or 'kingdom,' you name a pattern of thought—a habit, a self-image—that rules your inner weather. The instant God speaks is the moment you realize you are the I AM, the awareness that can decree a change. To uproot, to pull down, to destroy, is the inner act of discarding outdated beliefs and clearing ground for a fresh order within. Imagination becomes the tool: through a steadfast assumption and the feeling it real, the inner governor reorganizes the mental landscape, and outward conditions follow suit. There is no force against you, only the removal of what binds you. The 'destruction' is the birth of a kinder, truer kingdom inside, where justice and righteousness reside.

Practice This Now

Choose an inner state you want to remove (fear, doubt). Assume, 'I AM the ruler of this inner kingdom; I uproot this pattern and plant a new one,' and feel it real by breathing into the new state.
