Decree and The Light Within
Job 22:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says you may decree a thing and it will be established, with light shining on your paths. It frames inner authority and illumination as ongoing experience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the restful field of your I AM, every decree you utter becomes the seed of a new reality. Job 22:28 invites you to recognize that to decree a thing is not begging fate, but choosing a state of consciousness and agreeing with it until it unfolds. When you quietly say I AM this and thus it is, you are aligning with a law of inner consistency. The thing you decree is a state you inhabit by imagination; its establishment is the result of your persistent mental turning. As you hold the image and feel the truth of it, a light rises in awareness and shines upon your ways. Obstacles soften, possibilities surface, and directions appear that were always present in principle, awaiting your recognition. This is wisdom in action: discernment born of faithfulness, understanding that truth and guidance come from within. Providence is not distant; it is your own living assumption becoming your experience. You are not at the mercy of circumstance but the author of your experience through the decree of your I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and declare I AM establishing my desired outcome now, while you feel it as real. Visualize a warm golden light illuminating your path, revealing the next steps you can take.
