Staying in the Inner Land
Jeremiah 42:10-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 42 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 42:10-14 presents a choice: stay in the land with God’s promise of building and mercy, or depart for Egypt to escape fear, risking disconnection from divine presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the land you stand in as your present state of consciousness, and the I AM within you as God. The call to stay is a call to trust that I AM builds and plants you, while the fear of Babylon dissolves when you acknowledge I AM is with you to save and deliver. The mercy promised is the revival of your sense of home, a return to your inner land. To say 'we will go to Egypt' is to abandon the living idea of care from the inner presence and chase a dream of external security. The real choice is inner: remain in the consciousness that you are held, or escape into a story of safety. The moment you revise the fear and choose to dwell, you are re-planted in your true land and the conditions of your life begin to reflect that steadiness. This is the spiritual economy: alignment with I AM yields protection, mercy, and return; disalignment yields wandering. Thus the invitation remains: dwell in this land and know you are already home.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, declare, 'I will dwell in this land, the I AM within me sustains me,' and feel the presence supporting you; revise fear into trust and imagine mercy guiding you back to your inner land.
