Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 20:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 20 in context

Scripture Focus

10For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

Jeremiah 20:10

Biblical Context

Jeremiah hears defaming voices and fear on every side. His familiar friends watch for his halting, ready to entrap or seek revenge.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the outer scene lies a mirror of your inner state. The defaming voices and fear are not others pressing against you, but images arising in the mind when the I AM is unsettled. The 'familiar' who watch for your halting are the old habits of doubt that long to entrap you and prove the vision false. The spiritual law is simple: you become what you repeatedly imagine and feel as real. If you consent to the rumor, you align with a future built from others' opinions. If you withdraw that consent and return to the I AM presence, you fix the state of consciousness that creates the world. Jeremiah's provocation invites revision: insist that nothing can threaten the unshakeable awareness of who you are. When you hold to that inner truth—the I AM—the defaming voices lose their power and the surrounding reports fade, leaving you in the steady glow of your invincible mind.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the state: I am the I AM, unmoved by rumor. Revise the inner scene now and feel the truth as real, letting that invincible state govern your day.
