Inner Shadow of the Anointed

Lamentations 4:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Lamentations 4 in context

Scripture Focus

20The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.
Lamentations 4:20

Biblical Context

Verse 4:20 speaks of the breath of the LORD's anointed being drawn into pits, a condition of exile among nations. It shows how identification with external conditions dims inner life and security.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner script tells you the breath of life, your I AM, has been taken into pits, and you declare you must dwell under the shadow of another. In Neville's terms, the 'anointed of the LORD' is the felt presence of divine life within you; exile is simply a shift in consciousness when you identify with lack or danger. The verse does not describe a distant event; it reveals a condition you can alter now. When you awaken to the truth that the I AM is always here, you reverse the scene. The pits are merely thoughts of limitation; the shadows of the heathen are changing scenery in your imagination, not real borders. Return your attention to the inner throne where the anointed breath is kept alive; let the breath you call 'the LORD' be your life, your security, your home. By assuming you are the I AM, you live under your own shade of eternal presence, and the outer world becomes a reflection of your renewed consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM, the breath of God, lives in me now.' Rehearse the inner scene: exile dissolves, and you stand within the shadow of divine presence, breathing freely; feel it real.
