Inner Dialogue of Justification

Job 13:17-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 13 in context

Scripture Focus

17Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
21Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
22Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
Job 13:17-22

Biblical Context

Job declares his cause and trusts he will be justified, inviting a direct inner dialogue with God rather than remaining hidden. He signals readiness to speak truth and to be heard within.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet inner court of your consciousness, Job's words reveal a state. He says, 'Hear diligently my speech,' not to beg a distant judge, but to announce the state he already claims: 'I know that I shall be justified.' This is not pride; it is a deliberate act of consciousness. The question 'Who is he that will plead with me?' dissolves when you realize the I AM is the only witness in the courtroom of your mind, and that your present I AM can order its own cause. The line 'if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost' speaks to the danger of silence in consciousness—holding back your own truth drains vitality. When Job asks the Lord to withdraw fear and not to press with dread, he is choosing a different atmosphere to think from: a fearless, intimate dialogue with the self. Then 'call thou, and I will answer' becomes the inner law: the I AM answers as you speak, and you answer as you listen. Your task is to return to that inner courtroom and assert your right to be heard, heard as justified, by your own I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume now that you are justified, and imagine speaking to your inner I AM. Feel the response as already given, and let your fear dissolve as you listen.
