Inner Walls, Inner God: Nehemiah 1:4
Nehemiah 1:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nehemiah hears troubling news about Jerusalem's walls. He responds by sitting down, weeping, mourning, fasting, and praying before the God of heaven.
Neville's Inner Vision
When you hear words that shake your inner city, you are not summoned to plead with external odds, but to answer with the I AM that you are. The weeping and mourning are the first movements of release—images you have held in suspense are being loosened. The fasting withdraws your attention from familiar pictures, so you can attend to the reality you truly desire. The prayer is the conscious alignment with God of heaven, the awareness that you are already possessing the outcome in your own mind. Do not seek a future miracle, but assume the state in which the walls are standing. See your inner Jerusalem entirely rebuilt in imagination, and feel the feeling of completion as if it were happening now. As you dwell in that state, the outer situation will respond to your inner order, for imaginal acts become the causal power that fashions experience. You are the God who writes your own history; the kingdom rests within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, hear the troubling report as a thought in the mind, then revise by imagining you already stand within the rebuilt walls. Feel the relief as the I AM confirms your possession and carry that certainty into your day.
