Inner Fire Against False Worship

Jeremiah 7:31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

31And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
Jeremiah 7:31

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 7:31 describes a people who built high places to burn their children, a stark image of worship turned to violence. It marks a turning point where inner loyalties reveal themselves as obedience or treachery.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the I AM within, this Jeremiah passage reveals the moment a people chooses a scene of worship that ends in destruction because it is born of fear and domination. The high places and the fire are not distant rites but inner dispositions: images you have entertained until they have become your authority. God says it did not come into my heart, reminding you that true power rests in your own consciousness, not in ritual. If your mind lingers on sacrifices of love to control others or yourself, recognize you are burning the 'children' of your better self—compassion, joy, and freedom. The cure is simple: return to the I AM, the living present awareness, and let your imagining align with true worship. Dismiss the old image as outdated and imagine a new scene in which life is nurtured, not sacrificed, and the heart is led by love, not fear. In that shift, the inner city becomes a sanctuary, and obedience dissolves into alignment with divine fullness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume I AM governs my mind now; revise the scene by affirming I AM the ruler of my thoughts and feel that inner peace as already real.
