Inner Strength and Joy in Zechariah
Zechariah 10:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zechariah 10:7 describes Ephraim becoming strong and their hearts rejoicing in the LORD, a sign their joy will be seen by their children.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, this verse reveals that the 'they' is your inner self and the 'Ephraim' is your steady consciousness. When the I AM asserts itself, you become a mighty man—unshakable, present, and true to your nature. The wine-like joy is an overflowing feeling that arises from inner conviction, not from outward circumstances; it is the heart's grateful response to the LORD within. The children who see it symbolize the visible fruits—your thoughts, habits, and conditions—reflecting your inward gladness. Rejoicing in the LORD is a statement of awareness itself; when you attend to the LORD inside, your vitality, peace, and vitality radiate into life around you. This is the practical demonstration that worship is not ritual but alignment of consciousness with the I AM, here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume you are the mighty man of your inner state; let your heart overflow with wine-like joy as you affirm, 'I am the LORD of my life,' and observe how your world responds.
