Read Job 23 in context

Scripture Focus

4I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

5I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

Job 23:4-5

Biblical Context

Job wants to lay out his case before God and fill his mouth with arguments. He longs to hear the words God would answer with and understand what He would say.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner court is not a battle with God but a bending of your own state. To order my cause before Him is to set my mind in a definite mood, and to fill my mouth with arguments is to saturate that mood with the reasons why it is true now. The words He would answer with are the natural expressions of your I AM when you stand in the assumption of the state you seek. I am not asking God to change; I am inviting my awareness to shift, so the inner dialogue reveals the truth you have forgotten: you are already the speaker and the spoken. The outer scene will align with this inner posture, as acts and events reflect the settled feeling of the answered state. Trust the inner court; seek proof not in the world but in the certainty of present awareness. When you dwell there, you will hear the inner words that would have been spoken to you and recognize them as your own, the I AM answering through your imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In the next moment, assume the state you desire as already true and speak to your I AM, 'My cause is heard; I am already answered.' Then feel the certainty of that inner reply as real.
