Inner Walls of Renewal

Nehemiah 1:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Nehemiah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
2That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
3And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
Nehemiah 1:1-3

Biblical Context

Nehemiah 1:1–3 describes Nehemiah learning that Jerusalem's remnant is in distress and that the wall is broken and gates burned.

Neville's Inner Vision

Nehemiah 1:1–3 speaks of a mind in exile hearing of Jerusalem's distress, a city whose walls are broken and gates burned. In Neville's tone, the city and the ruler are states of consciousness: the palace of Shushan is the dream-place of the I AM, and the remnant in affliction is your presently held belief about yourself. The outer calamity is the inner belief that some part of you is unprotected or incomplete. The work is not to rebuild a wall in time, but to revise your inner assumption. Choose a new conviction: that your inner city is intact, defended, and renewed. As you assume it, feel the texture of the restored gates—perception opening, unity returning, purpose clarified. The apparent ruin yields to the power of imagination when you hold the image as if it is real now, not future. Your imagination becomes the builder; your feeling confirms the structure; your I AM witnesses and approves. The remnant's distress becomes the signal to re-choose, to see yourself already restored, and to move forward from that inner completion.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and affirm: I am the I AM, the architect of my inner Jerusalem. Now imagine the walls rebuilt and gates gleaming, and feel that restoration as your real state.
