Inner Silence, Inner King
Jeremiah 38:24-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 38 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zedekiah urges Jeremiah to conceal his words. The princes press for disclosure, but Jeremiah speaks only what the king ordained, and the matter remains unseen.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah's scene is a theater of inner states: the king within is your higher I AM, the outward voices (Zedekiah and the princes) are the surface mind alarms seeking exposure. The prophet speaks only what the inner king decreed, not every thought born of fear or pride. In Neville's terms, this is the Kingdom of God as a living state of consciousness: you decide what is spoken and when, by acknowledging the authority of the inner ruler. When you are tempted to reveal every private conviction, you practise discernment: you are not hiding truth, you are honoring a timing established by the inner command. The 'not perceived' outcome is the outer world lagging behind the inner conviction, proving that the outer senses follow inner certainty. So, assume the inner word as already spoken, feel it as real, and rest in the assurance that the right visibility comes when the inner government deems it so. The hiddenness is a discipline that preserves life until the moment of perfect alignment with the divine plan.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit in stillness and assume you have already spoken the inner word to the king; feel the relief of timing perfect and let the outer situation reflect that inner alignment.
