Walls of Inner Will
Nehemiah 4:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Sanballat hears they are building the wall, grows angry, and mocks the Jews. The verse presents hostility as a test of perseverance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Like Neville would say, the scene is not a geographic event but a translation of inner states. Sanballat's anger and mocking voice correspond to resistance in the mind when you attempt a new boundary of consciousness. The wall you build is an image in your imagination that defines the field of your awareness. When you hear mockery, you are precisely on the edge of a new self—an upgraded state that has already been formed in consciousness. The Jews continuing to work symbolizes steadfast faith and the discipline of attention; their perseverance is the inner momentum of the I AM. Do not argue with the mocker; revise your assumption: 'I am building streams of security and fulfillment within my mind.' The indignation is not outer power; it is your own old self clinging to limitation. Hold the image of the finished wall in your heart, feel it as real now, and your external circumstances will align. This is spiritual warfare: choose the reality you dwell in, not the noise you hear. Your future is the steady, quiet impression of completion now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the completed wall surrounding your inner city; whenever mockery arises, repeat, 'I have built this wall in my mind and it is real now.'
