Hearing the Inner Word
Jeremiah 9:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites women to hear God's word and pass on the stirred emotion of lament to their daughters and neighbors.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah 9:20 speaks not of distant judgment but of your inner hearing. The 'women' are your listening faculties; 'let your ear receive the word of his mouth' means you attend to the still, inner voice that is the I AM. When you permit the word to land, you awaken a new cycle in thought—teaching your 'daughters' (your future ideas) and your neighbor (the rest of your self) to lament. But lament here is not misery to be clung to; it is the honest acknowledgement of what seems absent in you and around you, a doorway through which the light of truth enters. In Neville terms, you are being called to take responsibility for your internal state: your psyche is the nation, your I AM is the king, and your feelings are signals that can be revised by the power of imagination. By staying true to the inner word, you honor truth and faithfulness, and you prepare the ground for promise to manifest as your conscious state. Your eventual outcome is not from without but from the deep, ongoing alignment with the word within you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and hear the LORD's word within; imagine telling your future self, 'You are taught by the I AM,' and dwell in the feeling of that eternal presence until it becomes your habitual state.
