The Living Word Within

Zechariah 1:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

5Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
Zechariah 1:5-6

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.
