Neville Goddard on Job 9:27-28 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 9 in context

Scripture Focus

27If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

28I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

Job 9:27-28

Biblical Context

Job longs to forget his heavy complaint but fears his sorrows and believes God will not declare him innocent. His inner state wavers between desire for relief and dread of judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Job 9:27-28 through the I AM lens, realize that the complaint is not a chain of events but a state of consciousness you are wearing. When you say you will forget your heaviness, you are acting out a future correction of the present, but the inner reality remains until you shift your assumption. Remember: God is I AM—the constant presence that can never condemn you. If you wait for innocence to arrive through longer suffering, you permit a false law to govern your life. The expedient is to assume the end now: you are innocent, justified by the I AM, and the heaviness begins to loosen as belief shifts. When you feel yourself as the I AM, fear recedes, and the mind stops narrating its sorrows as future facts. Your world responds not to what happened but to what you quietly assume about yourself in this moment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat: I am the I AM, innocent and beloved; feel the relief wash through you as the heaviness dissolves. Then dwell in that sensation until your next moment reflects the end you have assumed.
