Thanksgiving From Belly to Dry Land

Jonah 2:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jonah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Jonah 2:9-10

Biblical Context

Jonah vows to offer sacrifices with thanksgiving and to keep his vow; he asserts that salvation comes from the LORD, and then the LORD causes the fish to release him onto dry land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jonah’s cry is not merely a petition but a decision of consciousness. In the belly, he chooses to speak as if the inner law were already fulfilled, I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. This is the moment when the human drama turns into an inner agreement with Life. Salvation is of the LORD, declaring that the power that delivers is not in outer rescue but in the I AM awareness that you are. The fish and the sea are symbols of subconscious forces that hold you in a limit state until you align your inner state with thanksgiving. When the inner note of gratitude resonates, it becomes the breath that God answers: the release from the belly becomes a release into a new land—the dignified ground of a renewed consciousness. The vomit upon dry land is the visible sign that your inner vow has been honored and your awareness has re-entered its rightful domain. You are not waiting for salvation; you are declaring it as already yours through gratitude and faithful inner speech.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and assume the vow fulfilled now. Feel the gratitude as if you have already been released, then imagine stepping onto dry land in a new consciousness.
