Tongue of Truth Within
Jeremiah 9:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 9:3 depicts a people whose speech is bent to lies and who are not steadfast in truth, revealing a consciousness estranged from the Lord. It invites us to see inner speech as the battleground where truth is either upheld or obscured.
Neville's Inner Vision
I hear in Jeremiah a stark image of a tongue bent toward lies, and a people not valiant for the truth upon the earth. In Neville's practice, this is a description of a state of consciousness. When the mind forgets the I AM, it will clothe itself in deceit and move from evil to evil, for it imagines separation from God and acts from that dream. The remedy is immediately available: return to the awareness that you are the I AM, and that imagination alone fashions your world. Speak truth inwardly first, for the outer speech is but a mirror of inner belief. If you would alter your outward circumstances, revise your inner utterances until truth feels real in you now. The Lord’s remark that they know not me becomes an invitation to remember your own identity as God in expression—the never-changing presence that makes all things possible. By claiming the I AM as your reality, you dissolve the habit of lying to yourself and others, and your life begins to align with the truth you have chosen within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare I AM the truth of God in me now. Then revise a current thought into truth and feel it real until your words reflect that inner certainty.
