Jeremiah 38:20 Inner Obedience
Jeremiah 38:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 38 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse urges obedience to the LORD's voice, promising well-being for your life and true vitality for the soul when you heed that inner guidance.
Neville's Inner Vision
When you hear the 'voice of the LORD' as the I AM speaking within, you are not petitioning for rescue but shifting your state of consciousness. Jeremiah’s words become an inner law: you will not be delivered by circumstance when you choose to obey the inner directive. To obey is to align with the one reality you are—the self-aware I AM. The moment you assent to that inner guidance, you declare wellness and set your soul to live. External fear recedes because you are no longer identifying with it; you identify with the living presence that sustains all life. This is not submission to a distant deity but reception of your higher self; faith as the operation of consciousness. The 'well unto thee' is the felt truth of your inner state: peace, clarity, and vitality flowing from within. The more consistently you honor that inner voice, the more your outward experience mirrors that inner life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, settle into the sense of the I AM within, and declare, I obey the voice within now, feeling safety and life as if it were already so. Revise fear by affirming, Only the I AM governs my life; I am safe and alive.
