The Fire Clears the Remnant
Job 22:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says our true substance remains intact while the fire consumes the remnant of what is not essential. It points to purification that leaves behind the enduring core.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner theater of your life, the 'substance' is your I AM—the living, immutable awareness that never succumbs to time or circumstance. The 'fire' referenced in Job is not punishment but the natural refining of your thoughts and identifications. The 'remnant' represents the core you that survives every trial when you align with the truth that you are the I AM. When you entertain lack or fear, the fire burns away those false identifications, revealing the steadfast substance of your being. If you dwell in fullness and gratitude, the fire burns away doubts and creates a clearer expression of your inner wealth. Thus, every outer disturbance becomes a mirror of your inner assumption, and your essential self remains untouched by the blaze—the very consciousness that endures.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM; my substance cannot be cut down.' Then feel the fire as a purifying light, releasing only the false identifications and leaving the true self intact.
