Against The Prophetic Tongue
Jeremiah 23:31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God declares He is against prophets who claim He speaks through their own tongues. They attribute a divine word to God while speaking as if He has spoken.
Neville's Inner Vision
Behold, the verse proclaims that the Lord is against those who utter words in His name yet speak from a surface tongue. Neville-style, recognize that any voice saying He saith which does not arise from the I AM within is a projection of your own mind, a private prophet you have erected to soothe fear or gain control. The true speaker is your awareness, the I AM that perceives and creates. When you identify with separation and demand that God speaks through a chosen mouth, you displace your own power of imagination. You imagine a script of authority outside your present state, and then you live as though that script were real. The corrective is simple: assume that the voice you heed originates in the I AM—your present consciousness—and revise every external claim to align with that inner source. Practice feeling that you are the authority, and watch the world rearrange itself to the truth you now hold. In this light, judgment falls away, and prophecy becomes a personal, intimate expression of your realized being.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and declare to yourself I AM the source of true speech. Revise aloud any claim He saith by affirming I speak now from the I AM, and feel the truth arising from your inner awareness.
