Amend Your Ways Within
Jeremiah 7:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 7:3 invites a turning of inner life: amend your ways and your doings, and you will dwell in this place. The verse points to a covenant made with your own consciousness, not merely a geographic locale.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM lens, the LORD’s command is not a demand for external reform alone, but a summons to shift your inner state. The place you long to dwell in is your current state of consciousness, the mood of your imagination. Amend your ways and your doings means: revise the habitual thoughts, feelings, and reactions that have become your identity. You are not punished for past acts; you awaken to the truth that your inner assumption creates your outer scene. When you align with the covenant of loyalty to your true self, you enter a condition where obedience to the higher state becomes natural: you act from faith, not fear; you choose forgiveness, not resistance; you imagine with clarity and persist until the feeling of the wish fulfilled is your baseline. In this light, repentance is a revision of self-image, a renaming of yourself as already dwelling in the place you desire. The I AM you are is the agent of this transformation; imagination is the tool that carves the walls of your inner dwelling. The verse thus teaches the discipline of deliberate inner amendment until your outer life follows.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: For five minutes, close your eyes, breathe I AM, and revise one habitual thought to 'I am dwelling in the place I choose.' Feel the inner room, act from that new state, and let that feeling realign your day.
