Redeemed by the I Am
Jeremiah 31:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 31:11 proclaims that the LORD redeems Jacob and frees him from a foe stronger than he. It points to inner liberation, a renewal of consciousness rather than mere external victory. In Neville's terms, redemption begins in the mind when the I AM asserts itself.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Jeremiah 31:11, I whisper: the Lord who redeems Jacob is the I AM within you. Jacob is the waking state, the little self who tells you you are powerless, beset by a stronger hand—the fear, the habit, the outer circumstance that seems to bind you. The verse does not speak of political or historical victory alone; it proclaims a spiritual victory already accomplished in consciousness: God has ransomed the mind from the illusion that something greater than I AM rules me. As you stand in awareness, you find that the 'hand' that oppressed is but a belief in separation. Redemption is the return of Israel to its true self, the realization that your sense of self is one with the all-sufficient I AM. When you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled—embody the awareness that you are already redeemed and freed—you align with the action of God within you. Oppression dissolves, not by force but by the shift of consciousness. The outer world will echo the inner release as a natural consequence of your inner assent.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and feel the certainty 'I AM redeemed.' Imagine the stronger hand relaxing and dissolving as you affirm, 'I am free now.'
