Neville Goddard on Job 22:20-30 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 22 in context

Scripture Focus

20Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

21Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

22Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

24Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

25Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

26For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

27Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

28Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

29When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

30He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

Job 22:20-30

Biblical Context

The passage invites you to acquaint yourself with the divine I AM, return to the Almighty, and store divine law in your heart, so your life may reflect light, protection, and blessing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this counsel, Job is not pleading with an external deity but guiding you to awaken to the I AM inside. Your substance is your consciousness; when you acquaint yourself with the I AM, you enter a state of peace that dissolves fear and lack. The law from His mouth becomes inner statutes you store in the heart; you revise your assumptions until what you desire becomes your present fact. If you return to the Almighty, you are rebuilt; you lay away old self-doubt as you lay up gold as dust—metallic symbols of value that could appear in your life as you inhabit right consciousness. The Almighty becomes your defense; delight in God equals trust; your prayers and vows become inner decrees that draw forth light along your path. When you decree a thing, it is established; light shines upon your ways. When others are cast down, you declare lifting up; your state delivers the innocent by the pureness of your hands—the acts of right inner state manifesting in outer life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and enter the inner Presence of the I AM. Silently declare, 'I acquaint myself with the I AM; I am at peace; the Almighty defends me; I decree light and blessing.' Then feel the truth as already real in your life.
