Jeremiah 31:1 Inner Covenant
Jeremiah 31:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 31:1 declares that God will be the God of all the families of Israel and that they will be His people, signaling a universal, intimate relationship. In plain terms, the Lord promises a personal, inclusive bond with every part of the community and with you.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s vein, this is not a distant covenant but a revelation of your inner state. The ‘At the same time’ is the timeless now, where the I AM stands as the governing Presence behind every thought, feeling, and facet of your being. The 'families of Israel' are the many faculties and aspects of consciousness within you—mental, emotional, physical—united under one sovereign Presence. When you accept that God is the I AM within, you stop seeking from without and recognize one Life animating all parts. Saying ‘they shall be my people’ is a re-birth of your inner world into unity, loyalty, and belonging to the Self that never leaves you. This Covenant is a daily feeling-state: you dwell as the one God of your inner house, and your outer life becomes the visible echo of that inner agreement. The present tense suffices; dwell in I AM and observe how the sense of belonging reorganizes your entire life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and say: I AM the God of all the inner families. Visualize a single radiant I AM filling every room of your inner house; rest in the feeling of belonging to that Self.
