The Prophet Within Your Work

Zechariah 13:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 13 in context

Scripture Focus

5But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
Zechariah 13:5

Biblical Context

The passage presents a speaker who denies being a prophet, naming himself a farmer instead and attributing his learning to others from youth. It shows how outer roles can disguise inner calling.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I am lens, Zechariah 13:5 exposes a man clinging to a simple identity because of conditioning. He says I am no prophet I am a husbandman and the line about being taught to tend cattle from youth reveals the mental habit of accepting common roles as permanent. Neville would say the verse does not condemn the vocation but exposes the mind’s refusal to claim power. In truth the inner self is always the prophet of its world, and every outward craft is but an outward form of what the self imagines and believes. The call to prophecy is the decision of the I AM to dwell as awareness, and any refusal is a misalignment between your present sensing and your eternal function. Faithfulness means watching the inner state that precedes any event. When you observe yourself insisting you are merely a farmer, revise the self concept to I AM the source of all work and vocation. Feel the conviction that your true vocation arises from inner consciousness, not from external labels or teachers.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM behind your work is the source of your true vocation. Feel it real for a few minutes, revising the self to the prophet of your own life.
