Holiness as Inner Firstfruits
Jeremiah 2:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 2:3 proclaims Israel as holy to the LORD and the firstfruits of His increase, warning that those who devour this holiness will face offense or judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's tone, the line becomes a description of your inner state: Israel is the holiness you keep unto the LORD, the I AM; you are the firstfruits of divine increase when you stand in this consecrated consciousness. When you forget this inner reality and allow fear, doubt, or other thoughts to devour your holy state, you invite offense and misfortune into your life. The LORD is not a distant judge but your own awareness acting through your imagination. Your job is to hold the state as already true, feeling it as the firstfruits of your growth and prosperity. As you persist, you awaken a continual increase that cannot be taken away by outer circumstances. See the devourer as a projection of doubt; its power dissolves when faced with the unshakable I AM within you. You are the living Holiness, and your life expands in proportion to how faithfully you treat that inner fact.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and declare 'I am holy unto the LORD' as a present fact, then imagine a bright firstfruits blossoming within you, expanding your increase; revise any fear that would devour this state until it dissolves.
