Jeremiah's Inner Cleansing Moment
Jeremiah 19:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 19:3-5 warns that turning from the Lord to idols brings judgment on the inner and outer life; true worship is grounded in inner fidelity to God. The passage points to consequences for abandoning the sacred center in favor of external idols.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let us read Jeremiah’s word as a mirror of your inner state. The kings and inhabitants are the rulers you have given to your own mind—ideas, cravings, fears—that govern how you treat the sacred sanctuary of your awareness. When you hear the word of the LORD within, you feel the shock of misalignment as an inner climate shifts toward truth. They have forsaken me and burned incense to other gods becomes a metaphor for giving energy to thoughts or desires that are not the I AM. You are loved, yet your inner temple may be cluttered with idols—attachments to outcomes, approval, or external conditions. The blood of innocents represents energy spent on vain pursuits that harm your innocence. The high places of Baal are fixed beliefs and habits you defend as reality, not knowing they are inventions of the ego. Yet the verse also reveals a path: return to true worship, align attention with the I AM, and let go of idols. In that return, inner judgment yields to renewal and the calm sovereignty of your true Self.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and revise the scene by declaring I AM the ruler of this temple; see the idols dissolve and the sacred center return. Feel the inner stillness and rest your awareness in the I AM, knowing true worship is conscious presence.
