Inner Prophets of Jeremiah 23:21
Jeremiah 23:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 23:21 speaks of prophets running and prophesying without being sent or spoken to; the passage reveals inner origin and accountability for what we call prophecy.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah 23:21 is not about distant heralds but about the inner voices you entertain when you forget that you are the I AM. The prophets who ran and prophesied without being sent are your thoughts, images, and impulses that surge forth from an ungoverned imagination. When you misinterpret them as coming from outside you betray the only sent Word there is—the awareness you are. The moment you claim, 'I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied,' you awaken to the truth that every forecast and claim of destiny arises from your own state of consciousness. The remedy is not to condemn the voice but to take back command: assume the sentness of the I AM, and let imagination serve your awakening rather than fear. If you want a new prophecy, act as the one who holds the pen of reality, revise the message with love, and feel it true in your chest. Your judgment is a guide to truthfulness of inner state, not punishment; it invites a disciplined, loving use of imagination to create what you truly desire.
Practice This Now
Practice: In a moment of uncertainty, close your eyes and declare, 'I am the sender of every word that shapes my world,' then feel that certainty in your heart as you breathe. Then revise any belief that a separate voice speaks apart from you.
