Inner Prayer, Outer Silence
Jeremiah 37:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 37 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The king, his people, and the prophet Jeremiah fail to heed the LORD’s words, and they turn to prayer only when troubled. Jeremiah moves about among them, unconfined, signaling the soul's ongoing presence within the scene.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text, the scene is not a geographical event but a map of your inner states. The king and the people are your outer dispositions; the words of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah are the living Law of your I AM. When they refuse to listen, it reveals a momentary separation between what you know and what you allow yourself to feel. The request to 'pray now unto the LORD our God' is your inner petition rising from a moment of forgetfulness, asking for alignment. Jeremiah’s roaming the streets of the city is your soul moving through consciousness, not imprisoned by past conditions, free to witness and declare the truth. The fact that he is not put in prison demonstrates that the divine Word remains unhindered within your mind, awaiting your consent. The remedy is simple and radical: revise your state by assuming you have already heard and obeyed the Word, and feel the reality of that obedience now. When you maintain that inner state, your inner landscape shifts, and the external circumstances begin to harmonize with the new truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you have already heard and obeyed the inner Word; feel that obedience as real now. Notice how your outer scene begins to respond with a gentler, more cooperative order.
