Inner Word of Jeremiah
Jeremiah 37:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 37 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The king secretly asks for a word from the LORD; Jeremiah answers that there is such a word, foretelling deliverance into Babylon's hand. The inner truth is that your outward inquiry mirrors the soul seeking guidance, and true deliverance is a shift in consciousness you can awaken to now.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah 37:17 presents the tale of a king who seeks a word from the LORD in private. Yet in the Neville lens, the king is a symbol of the outer self and the prophet within is the I AM, the quiet, authoritative awareness that speaks the truth you already know. There is a word, says the inner Jeremiah; and this word does not merely forecast political fate, it confirms a state of consciousness. The decree that you will be delivered into the hand of Babylon is a picture of being handed over to circumstances by your present belief. When you identify with the LORD within—your I AM—you revise the meaning of exile as a moment of preparation, not punishment. Your attention becomes the law that shapes your life; by assuming the end in mind, you align yourself with the higher power that governs the scene. The outer world mirrors your inner state; biology, events, even 'deliverance' follows as the natural expression of a single, immutable fact: you are the living awareness that assumes the fulfilled outcome now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place your hand on your heart, and declare, There is a word from the LORD within me now. Then, in the realm of imagination, envision yourself already delivered, feel the sovereignty of the I AM guiding you, and let that feeling linger as you open your eyes.
