Read Jeremiah 42 in context

Scripture Focus

8Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
Jeremiah 42:8-9

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 42:8-9 gathers the people to present their petition before the LORD, and the LORD speaks through the messenger. The passage anchors instruction in trust, obedience, and readiness to follow.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the scene is not a debate over history but a drama of consciousness. The gathering of leaders and people stands for the many states of mind you summon to the God within. When the prophet speaks, Thus saith the LORD unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him, you hear the echo of your own I AM - the awareness that hears your petition and answers from your inner source. The divine commission here is a repeated invitation to align your inner motive with your deepest purpose. The 'God of Israel' becomes the steady I AM in you, the voice that repeats the commission until faith feels real as authority. Your prayer is not a plea to a distant deity but a re-acknowledgment of your being, and the promise arrives as you accept responsibility to act in harmony with that inner word. When you trust this inner word and obey its lead, the inner prophecy becomes your lived reality, and the outer world will reflect the alignment of your inner assumption.

Practice This Now

Practice: Quiet your mind, name the situation you petition for, and imagine the I AM speaking to you, 'You are heard; proceed in faith.' Then rest in the feeling of the answer as already real for a few minutes, per Neville's feel-it-real method.
