The Inner Word Arrives
Jeremiah 35:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 35 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 35:1 presents a word delivered by the LORD during a historical moment, signaling a prophetic commission. In Neville's reading, this word represents an inner directive arising in your consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the word delivered to Jeremiah is not a relic of a bygone era but a state of consciousness speaking through you. The LORD's word in the days of Jehoiakim becomes, for us, the inner imagination asserting its command in the present moment. The 'word' is a vibration of I AM awareness moving in you, inviting you to yield your old self to a larger pattern. You are not petitioning from without; you are listening to the I AM that already knows what you are becoming and then speaking it into your life. When you accept this inner decree, the mind unwinds its resistance and aligns with the intrinsic purpose that the word carries. The “commission” is simply the act of recognizing that the future you seek is already present as a seed in your current attention; as you listen and obey, your outer events follow the movement of your inner conviction. This is true prophecy: you remember who you are by allowing the inner word to govern your thinking, feeling, and choices.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the inner word is now speaking through your I AM; feel its authority in your chest, and declare, 'I AM the Word within me, speaking and directing my life.'
