Inner Jerusalem Night Mission
Nehemiah 2:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nehemiah rises at night with a few companions to begin a divinely placed mission for Jerusalem. He reveals nothing of that inward call to anyone, trusting only the inner God within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within my consciousness, I hear the whisper of the I AM—my inner God—calling me to a Jerusalem within. I arise in the night, with a handful of thoughts as companions, and I tell no man what my heart has resolved to do; the plan remains private until the inner condition matches the vision. The beast I ride is my own energy and attention, moved not by chatter but by fidelity to the inner command. Providence conducts the journey, guiding me in silence until what I seek is formed in inner possibility and then reflected as outward result. The city I am building is a state of mind—order, purpose, and renewal—realized first in imagination and feeling, then gradually appearing in experience. By keeping faith with the unseen directive and assuming its presence as already done, I align with Neville’s law: imagination creates reality, and inner conviction precedes outer arrangement.
Practice This Now
Tonight, sit in stillness and declare to the I AM: I arise in the night with my inner mission and tell no one; the plan is already done. Then feel the joy of completion and let your outer actions follow from that inner certainty.
