Inner Priest of Truth
Malachi 2:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Malachi 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Malachi speaks of a priest whose words carry truth, living in peace and equity, guiding others away from wrongdoing; lips should keep knowledge and seek the law, for such a figure is the LORD's messenger.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's lens, this passage invites you to recognize that the 'priest' is your inner state of consciousness—the posture from which you speak and act. The 'law of truth in his mouth' is the conviction you hold as fact in the imagination, so that truth radiates from your lips because it lives in your inner conviction. When 'iniquity is not found in his lips,' your inner speech is clean, unselfish, and aligned with harmony; you walk with the Creator in peace and equity, and by that radiance you influence mental states, turning many away from lower desires. The line 'the priest's lips should keep knowledge' and 'they should seek the law at his mouth' becomes: cultivate an inner law, an absolute standard you consult before you speak—your imagination becomes the repository and interpreter of divine order. You are the messenger of the LORD of hosts when your inner mouth speaks truth under the law of your I AM. The world rearranges itself to reflect your inner state, and you awaken to the truth that imagination creates reality.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner priest now: close your eyes, declare, 'I am the law of truth in action; I speak peace and equity,' and imagine a soft beam of light issuing from your mouth, transforming the situation in harmony.
