Neville Goddard on Nehemiah 6:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nehemiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)

2That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.

Nehemiah 6:1-2

Biblical Context

Nehemiah learns the enemies plan to lure him into a meeting with deceit. He refuses the trap and continues to complete the wall, trusting in the inner resolve that his God is with him.

Neville's Inner Vision

The Nehemiah narrative is a parable of inner life. The wall’s nearing completion signals that your state of consciousness has achieved wholeness; the breach is but a projection of fear. The summons to Ono is the mind’s attempt to negotiate with doubt, to treat danger as if it comes from without. The real battlefield is within: when you identify with your I AM—your unassailable awareness—you do not abandon your post to mischief. By maintaining the vision of a finished wall and doors set, you transform external threats into inner rehearsals of strength. Perseverance here is not stubborn resistance but the alignment of imagination with truth; every moment you affirm that the work is already done in consciousness and the world follows. Spiritual warfare is won not by fighting others, but by saturating your awareness with the reality of your I AM. The wall remains unbreached because you choose to dwell in the completed state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the wall around your purpose is complete; feel the doors set and guards in place. Then declare, I am the I AM, and no plan against me can breach my peace.
