Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 41:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 41 in context

Scripture Focus

11But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,

12Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.

Jeremiah 41:11-12

Biblical Context

Johanan and the captains hear of Ishmael’s evil, gather all the men, and go forth to confront him by the great waters of Gibeon. The scene records a mobilized response to a threat, turning fear into coordinated action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 41:11-12 reveals a scene where a disruptive inner current is exposed and an orderly inner council gathers to meet it. Ishmael’s act is not merely external; it is a restless state of consciousness trying to seed fear and division. The captains and Johanan are your organized attention—the I AM assembling its faculties to act rather than react. By moving toward the great waters of Gibeon, they enact decisive momentum: action in consciousness that halts the drift of confusion. In Neville’s reading, the outer pursuit mirrors an inner pursuit: you, the creator, mobilize your inner army, set a definite goal, and move your attention to a scene where you can face the disturbance and declare its power dissolved by awareness. The moment you align with the I AM and commit to a clear outcome, the scene shifts from threat to resolution. Remember: every external event is a signal of your inward state; you change the state, and the outer world follows.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a moment, assume Johanan’s posture—call your inner forces to assemble and declare, 'I AM the action and the action now.' Picture meeting the disruptive state by the inner waters of Gibeon and feel its influence diminish as you stand in resolve.
