The Living Word Within
Zechariah 1:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Your fathers and the prophets appear as ancient authorities who may pass away. The enduring force is the Word and statutes spoken within you.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider this not as history but as a map of your inner life. The fathers and the prophets you summon are not distant men of old; they are earlier states of your own consciousness. They seem to live forever only as you keep imagining a world of authority outside the I AM. The line about my words and my statutes is a declaration of inner law that never dies. When you wonder if they took hold of your fathers, you are really asking, 'What present belief governs me now?' As you choose to align with the inner command—your present-tense statute—you invite reality to mirror that law. The outer events become echoes of the inner conviction: 'as the LORD thought to do unto us' becomes 'as I have believed, so I have conceived.' The Lord of hosts is your higher self, the constant I AM within, translating your sacred states into form. Begin to dwell in the Word as real now, and your past can be revised by the fidelity of this inner decree.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and declare in the present tense, 'I AM the Word; I align now with the living statutes within me.' Visualize the inner Word taking hold of your life and let a gentle revision of a past impression begin.
