Read Jeremiah 38 in context

Scripture Focus

26Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.

Jeremiah 38:26

Biblical Context

Jeremiah declares he presented his supplication to the king, asking not to be sent back to Jonathan's house to die there. The emphasis is on seeking a favorable outcome through an inner, authoritative source.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the scripture of your life, Jeremiah's act is your own inner drama. The king is the inner I AM—the steadfast consciousness that can alter the course you think is fixed. 'Returning to Jonathan's house' represents repeating a death-like pattern in mind or circumstance; the plea is not for mercy from history, but for a fresh orientation of awareness. When you present your supplication, you are not petitioning an external ruler, but commissioning an inner assumption that the situation is already resolved. The moment you imagine the King answering, the imagined scene of being carried away from the old cage collapses into your present experience because imagination is the creator of reality. Your act of faith is not hoping for change, but recognizing that you are the one who creates change by the state of your consciousness. You are not bound to the old pattern; you are now free to walk in the understanding that you have been heard and that the future can unfold from this fulfilled state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, as the King within, declare the outcome as already true: 'I have been heard; I am free now.' Stay with the feeling until it becomes your felt reality.
