Obedience of the Inner Command

Jeremiah 35:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 35 in context

Scripture Focus

18And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
Jeremiah 35:18

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 35:18 shows that the Rechabites are commended for faithfully keeping their father Jonadab's commands. The passage highlights obedience and covenant loyalty as a steadying principle.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 35:18 invites you to read obedience not as outward compliance, but as a fixed state of consciousness. The Rechabites’ fidelity to Jonadab’s precepts is a mirror of the inner law you consent to under the I AM. Jonadab stands as a symbol for a consistent pattern you have chosen to dwell in—an inner directive that governs thoughts, feelings, and actions. The Lord, the God of Israel, answers from within: when you keep your chosen command with unwavering fidelity, you align your entire being with divine order. This is the true teaching I unveil: obedience is the inner movement that makes your world conform to your state. The commendation comes not from external success but from the inward certainty that your inner agreement shapes your outer experiences. When you hold fast to a single, righteous command, you become capable of a steady, fruitful flow of life, as a house remains lit when its doors stay closed to doubt. So ask: what inner command am I faithfully keeping right now, and how does its keeping alter my life?

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I am fully obedient to the inner law guiding me toward my highest good. Feel that I AM-ness as already done and let your life reflect the command kept.
