Read Jeremiah 27 in context

Scripture Focus

4And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;

5I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.

6And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

7And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.

Jeremiah 27:4-7

Biblical Context

God declares He made the earth and lands and has given them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar; nations shall serve him for a season until the land's appointed time.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, this passage is a map of your inner government. The earth and the lands you tread are the territories of your own awareness, held by a great power within you. Nebuchadnezzar becomes a dominant state of consciousness you presently permit to rule your day—perhaps fear, control, habit, or the urge to have things your own way. The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is your I AM, the steadfast awareness that can set a new sovereignty over experience. When you acknowledge that this ruling state is a tool of your growth and not your ultimate reality, you begin to see that all the nations you encounter—thoughts, feelings, circumstances—serve this ruling consciousness for a season. The time of its land comes when that state has accomplished its work, and many other aspects of mind turn to serve the one sovereign mind. This is the inward restoration Neville calls the birth of a true kingdom where imagination governs reality and events bend to your inner decree. So you are invited to claim sovereignty now, in imagination, and let the outer world follow your inner command.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and place a hand on your chest. Repeat in fullness, I am the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel within me; I govern all things. Then revise a current circumstance by imaginally presenting the ruling state you desire, feeling it as real and letting the outer life follow.
