Guard Your Mouth, Shape Reality
Proverbs 4:24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Proverbs 4:24 urges you to discard deceitful and perverse speech and to keep your words pure. It points to an inner discipline where truth and integrity become your natural speaking.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, observe that the verse speaks of 'thee' and 'froward mouth' as outward signs of an inward state. In Neville's terms, your entire world is the stage of your consciousness; the mouth you use is the instrument by which your I AM declares itself. To put away the froward mouth is to refuse to entertain any thought or feeling that contradicts your realized state. If you accept that you are always now, you can revise the inner intention behind your words; imagine you are the one who speaks from a completed state, and your words will bend to that reality. The acts of speaking and listening are creative acts of imagination; by choosing words that reflect wholeness, you are reconditioning your inner climate. Practice assuming your words are already true; feel the certainty of the truth you want to express, and let the external conditions align to your inner sermon. Each moment offers the chance to re-script your speech and thereby re-script your life.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly and declare, 'I now speak only truth and love; my words reflect my I AM.' Close your eyes, feel the words forming as living light, and carry that light into your day.
