Stand in Your Inner Court
Jeremiah 26:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 26:2-3 records God’s command to stand in the LORD’s house and speak all the words given, without diminishing a syllable. If the people listen and turn from their evil ways, God may repent of the evil He intends because of their deeds.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner weather of your mind, the LORD’s house is your own state of awareness—the I AM you truly are. Standing in its court means you assert your full presence in consciousness, neither shrinking from nor trimming the truth you speak to yourself. The directive to utter every word God commands is a invitation to plant an uncompromised decree within your inner altar. When your inner dispositions hear this full speech and turn away from their habitual ‘evil’ patterns, the mood of your life shifts; the old plan recedes as wiser impulses take its place. The clause about God repenting of the evil He purposes reveals a secret of Neville’s practice: the divine plan is responsive to your inner state. Change your consciousness, and what you imagined would occur changes with it. You are not at the mercy of fate, but guided by a transformed I AM—a new cause that re-forms effect from within.
Practice This Now
Choose one habit you wish to change. In your imagination, stand in your inner temple and speak the full, unfiltered decree you will live by: 'I speak the words I command; I turn from this habit now; a new state of consciousness takes its place, and I feel it real.'
