Inner Princes Hear Truth
Jeremiah 38:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 38 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse lists named leaders who heard Jeremiah's spoken message to the people. It shows the moment where authority figures listen to truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Rather than viewing the princes as distant actors, see them as the different states of consciousness within you that claim control. Jeremiah is the I AM, the living voice of awareness speaking the truth you need in this very moment. When Shephatiah, Gedaliah, Jucal, and Pashur hear the words spoken to all the people, notice that hearing is not agreement; it is recognition that something new can arise in consciousness. The moment you acknowledge the word as true, those opposing states are invited to dissolve or reinterpret themselves. Your inner rulers may bow to the message you have already decided to inhabit in imagination. The verse offers a simple practice: listen inwardly to the spoken word of truth and allow it to settle into your being; then act as if that truth is already your circumstance. The promise is clear: obedience to the inner testimony aligns your outer scene with the reality you imagine. The "princes" are not obstacles but indicators of where to apply revision, a trust in the I AM that is always hearing and always ready to bring forth.
Practice This Now
Assume the truth is now ruling in you. Revise the scene by affirming, 'I am the I AM, listening and obeying this word,' and feel it real.
