Inner Victory Over the Wicked
Malachi 4:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Malachi 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse promises that the faithful will overcome evil, and the wicked will become ashes under their feet in the day God acts.
Neville's Inner Vision
This passage speaks not of external conquest, but of an inward victory. The 'wicked' represents resisting thoughts and fearful patterns within your own consciousness. The 'day that I shall do this' is the moment your I AM, your true awareness, arises and assumes dominion. When you dwell in the feeling of the I AM, you tread on the old state of limitation; the ashes indicate the dissolution of that false self, not punishment of others. Your experience of justice and triumph flows from a stable contemplative act—assume the victorious state now, and the old beliefs lose their power. The prophecy is fulfilled in the inner kingdom where negative tendencies lose their grip as you consciously align with the living presence within you. This is not a battlefield against people but a transformation of your inner landscape, where righteousness, justice, and promise take visible form as your awareness expands.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the I AM as your enduring presence, and mentally step through a scene where you tread on a symbol of your old self until it turns to ashes under your feet.
