The Inner Mediator Within
Job 16:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job 16:21 expresses a longing for someone to plead a human case with God, as one pleads for a neighbor. It hints at an inner need for mediation and mercy that belongs to every seeker.
Neville's Inner Vision
Job’s cry reveals the law of the I AM at work within every soul: there is an inner advocate that can bridge the gap between fear and mercy. The 'man' to be pleaded for is not merely another person but a facet of your own awareness yearning to be aligned with divine compassion. When you imagine yourself pleading with God for that neighbor, you are not petitioning an external judge; you are practicing a change of state in your own consciousness. The mediation occurs as you shift from blaming or lack to a felt sense of unity—letting the I AM stand as both pleader and consent. The neighbor you wish well becomes the image in your mind that you now treat with the authority of God-awareness. By assuming the role of mediator, you acknowledge that God is within you and acts through your imagination to harmonize your world. The act is internal, practical, and real: cultivate the feeling of that mercy until it colors your relationships and conditions your life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state of the mediator within—feel the I AM as present. Then revise a situation with the sense that mercy already reigns, and let that feeling be real in your day.
