Inner City Inheritance — Nehemiah 11:20
Nehemiah 11:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of the remaining Israelites, priests, and Levites living in all Judah's cities, each in his own inheritance.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice, the verse reveals that the 'residue' is a state of consciousness that remains when you return to your I AM. The 'cities of Judah' are the varied compartments of your mind—habits, duties, and desires—each assigned its own inheritance, a fixed portion of inner wealth. The priests and Levites symbolize the service and worship of your own kingdom conscience, the disciplined inner activity that keeps your attention aligned with truth. Rather than a geographic map, this passage invites you to acknowledge that every part of you already has its place and purpose; when you honor that inner arrangement, you stop scattering energy across fear and desire, and energy concentrates into clear, natural alignment. Your imagination is not coercion but recognition—you are already the heir of a promised land within. As you dwell in that awareness, the internal cities begin to harmonize, and the whole consciousness is fed by its own settled inheritance.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are living in your inherited inner city. Feel the settled place of each faculty and dwell there for a moment, letting the I AM affirm the scene.
