Inner Day of Turning Hearts
Malachi 4:3-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Malachi 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Malachi 4:3-6 speaks of a day when the wicked are cast as ashes underfoot. It also calls for recalling Moses' law and promises Elijah to turn the hearts of fathers to children and children to their fathers, lest the earth incur a curse.
Neville's Inner Vision
Malachi 4:3-6 speaks of a day, but in Neville's sense that day is a shift of consciousness. The command to tread down the wicked is an instruction to you: rise above the troubling thoughts and imagined enemies and stand in a higher state where they appear as ashes under your feet because you no longer consent to their power. The line about remembering the law of Moses is the inner law you carry, a fixed principle in consciousness that orders your life by truth rather than fear. Elijah's coming is the inner renewal that turns the heart, not by external prediction but by your willingness to revise your inner dialogue until your sense of Father and Child is reconciled. When you imagine one generation embracing the other, you are rehearsing the unity that already exists in divine mind. If you persist in that inward turning, the perceived curse dissolves, because you have chosen a state in which resistance cannot take root. The earth as you know it finally reflects the harmony you permit in your inner life. So the day of the LORD is a daily practice of interior alignment that manifests outward peace.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state of universal reconciliation. Picture a specific person and silently declare, I turn hearts today, and feel that inner unity as real.
