Jeremiah 4:14 Inner Cleansing

Jeremiah 4:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

14O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
Jeremiah 4:14

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 4:14 asks Jerusalem to cleanse the heart of wicked thoughts so that salvation may come, and questions how long vain thoughts will reside within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah speaks to your inner Jerusalem, the seat of your choices. The call to wash thine heart is a call to wash your state of consciousness: to stop identifying with wicked, vain thoughts and to yield to the I AM that you are. Salvation, in Neville's sense, is the natural awakening when you refuse to feed the mind with fear or lack and instead dwell in the feeling of your true state. The verse invites you to observe the inner movements of thought and to revise them by insisting that you are already pure and present. When you say, 'I am the clean heart of God,' you rewrite the inner weather; you convert a habitual thought-lodging into a temple of awareness. The question 'How long' becomes an invitation to practice instant revision, turning attention from the disturbing thought to the abiding reality of consciousness. In this light, washing is not moral striving but recognition that you are the I AM, and imagination creates the life you accept as real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the purified heart—'I am the clean heart of God now.' Stay with that sensation for a few breaths and revise any persistent vain thought by saying, 'It lodges no more; I am awake in salvation.'
