Turning Hearts Within
Malachi 4:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Malachi 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Malachi 4:6 speaks of turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. When such inner alignment occurs, generational rifts are healed and the earth is not cursed.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner economy of the I AM, the 'heart of the fathers' and the 'heart of the children' are two streams of consciousness within me—memory, authority, receptivity, and fear. When I, as the I AM, turn these streams toward one another in harmony, I enact the great reconciliation that Malachi foresees. The 'curse' is not a cosmic punishment but the natural consequence of a fractured consciousness; by choosing unity now, I alter the pattern that would otherwise manifest as discord in my world. The turning is an act of imagination—an act of memory rewritten to bless and to forgive. As I dwell in the perception that these inner generations are already reconciled, the outer relationships begin to reflect that inner alignment. I do not coax others to change; I revise my own inner state until it feels like done. Then the world follows the blueprint I have assumed, and harmony becomes the living law through which life unfolds.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling that the inner father and inner child are reconciled now, and dwell in that unity. Revise any memory of conflict and feel it real as already done.
