Inner Obedience and Dominion
Zechariah 3:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Walking in God's ways and keeping His charge grants authority to judge and guard His temple; God will place you among those who stand by.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the reader, Zechariah speaks to your present state of consciousness. Walking in the Lord's ways is not a distant command but an inner alignment with the I AM—an unwavering harmony of thoughts, feelings, and intentional forward movement. Keeping His charge is the discipline of your inner life: attending to the habits, images, and assumptions you permit into your sacred temple. When you sustain this mood, you do not fight external conditions; you awaken to your own authority to 'judge my house'—to discern which thoughts belong in the temple and which must be removed. You also 'keep my courts' by fencing off idle fantasies and fear-driven stories, preserving a rhythm of divine order in your imagination. Then the promise unfolds: you will have places to walk among those that stand by—the intimate circle of awareness that witnesses your true state. The practical step is to inhabit the feeling of already occupying that order, and to revise any sense of separation into realized union with the I AM. Your reality follows your inner alignment; start now, and you become the steward of your own temple.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume you are already walking in divine ways; revise any sense of lack by repeating, 'I am aligned with the I AM and keep my charge as I move.'
