Jeremiah's Inner Fire: Doings & Consequence

Jeremiah 21:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

14But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
Jeremiah 21:14

Biblical Context

Jeremiah says punishment follows the fruit of your deeds. The forest-fire image points to an inner clearing that consumes what no longer serves.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of God as the I AM within you, the conscious life that chooses states. When Jeremiah speaks of punishment, he mirrors the law of consciousness: you reap in the outer world what you have imagined inwardly. The 'fire in the forest' is not vengeance but a fiery clarifying of your inner landscape. The forest represents your habitual thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes; the flames devour the underbrush until only what aligns with your new state remains. As you attend to this, you begin to see that the judgments and events that befall you are the natural consequence of your present consciousness. If you desire a different outcome, alter the state you dwell in: assume you are already the person whose life reflects order, protection, and fullness. In this frame, there is no attack from without; there is a gentle polishing by God within, pushing you toward greater alignment with your desired end. Stay with the feeling of your new state until it saturates your imagination.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise a recent scene by assuming you are now in the state of your desired outcome; feel it real until it saturates your mind.
