The Burden Of Your Words
Jeremiah 23:36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah warns that people have made the LORD's burden their own by twisting His words; every person’s talk becomes a weight they carry.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Jeremiah’s warning lies a doorway: the burden spoken about God is a burden you carry within your own mind. The LORD, in this reading, is the I AM within you; when you speak as if God’s word were separate from you, you twist the living Word and place weight upon your own consciousness. Your words reflect your inner state, not external decrees. If you perceive the burden as coming from outside, you remain in the old drama; if you revise your inner speech to confirm your unity with the divine word, the burden falls away. The remedy is to acknowledge that you are the creator of your experience by aligning your statements with truth you desire to see manifested. Speak from the end you seek, as if it already exists in your awareness. When you feel the truth of 'I AM' as your operative identity, the perverted usage of words dissolves and your life begins to harmonize with your inner decree.
Practice This Now
Assume the end as already true; revise a recent limitation in your inner speech and feel-it-real by stating, 'I am the I AM; my words reveal my state.' Then speak one sentence about your desired outcome as if it is already true.
