Jeremiah's Inner Fire Within
Jeremiah 20:7-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah laments feeling deceived by the Lord and mocked for his prophecy. Yet the word of the Lord burns inside him like a fire that compels speech.
Neville's Inner Vision
Ask yourself: what if this text is not about someone else’s history but your own inner state wearing words? Jeremiah’s cry of deception and the pressure of derision are the sounds of a consciousness measuring itself against limitation. The 'word of the LORD' is not distant scripture; it is the living decree of the I AM within you, a fire shut up in your bones when you permit it to move. The feeling of being deceived is the mind clinging to a picture of scarcity or powerlessness; the proclamation that 'everyone mocks me' is the inward chorus of doubt. But as soon as you whisper 'I will not speak any more in His name,' you reveal the choice to cut yourself off from your creative power. Yet the Word revives, and it burns until you yield. Your task is to realize you are not at the mercy of others’ reports but the I AM behind them, the authority you are. When you revise the scene to acknowledge that you have already prevailed, fear and derision melt, and the outer world must reflect the new inner certainty.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place your hand on your heart, and silently declare: I AM the word that prevails. Feel the inner fire rise as you assume the life you desire, allowing it to replace fear and derision with unwavering presence.
