Turn to God With All Heart

Joel 2:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

12Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Joel 2:12

Biblical Context

The passage calls people to turn to the LORD with their whole heart, using fasting, weeping, and mourning as outward signs of inward repentance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joel's call is not a ritual to perform at a distance from your true self, but a command to turn your entire awareness toward the I AM that you are. Your heart in Scripture is the seat of consciousness; when it is divided, you live in a split between fear and faith. Fasting, in Neville's practice, is the discipline of withdrawing attachment from outward cravings, so your attention can rest on the divine presence within. Weeping and mourning are not merely expressions of sorrow for a past misstep; they are emotional movements that clear resistance and loosen the binds of belief that you are separate from God. When you permit these inner movements, you awaken to the truth that God is not somewhere distant but the very awareness that experiences. By choosing to imagine you already stand in unity with the I AM, you shift your state of consciousness until your external world mirrors that inner alignment. The turning is therefore an act of conscious reinvention: you revise your sense of self until, in feeling, you are at one with the divine reality you seek.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and declare: I turn to the I AM within with my whole heart. Now imagine that light expanding from your chest until your entire life is illuminated by it, and hold that felt-reality for a minute.
