The Inner Speak of I AM
Job 37:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 37 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job 37:20 hints at the futility of telling the Almighty what you speak; true speech stems from your inner state, not from outward chatter. In Neville's light, the inner conviction is what moves life, not spoken words.
Neville's Inner Vision
That line in Job whispers to the reader of the old habit: attempting to instruct the Almighty with your own words. But in Neville’s light, the 'telling' is a clue to your state of consciousness. If I say 'I speak,' I am confessing a belief in a separate 'I' apart from the All-Knowing Presence. Such a belief would indeed swallow the ego's speech, for the Infinite cannot be contained by spectacle or argument. The healing key is to reverse the posture: I do not tell God my thoughts; I become the I AM that simply allows the truth to be voiced from within. When I imagine the events of my life, I am not narrating the external; I am reviving the inner state that already fulfills them. The world is the sign of that inner state: the form appears as I hold it inwardly. So I practice speaking from the premise, 'I am one with God; my words are His Word in operation.' In this light, Job’s warning becomes a counsel: align your inner speech with the divine reality, and the outer will follow.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: I am the I AM; watch the urge to narrate God get quiet; speak only from that unity.
