Cross Power Within: Inner Wisdom
1 Corinthians 1:18-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
To those who perish, the preaching of the cross seems foolish; to believers it is the power of God. The passage shows that worldly wisdom is futile before true discernment born of faith.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take the verses as a map of inner life. The cross is not an external event but a shift in consciousness toward the I AM. What the world calls foolishness is God revealing power when you stop seeking proof in the senses. In this light, God is your I AM, and He unsettles the so-called wisdom of the wise by awakening faith from within. When you stop arguing with appearances and begin imagining from the end, you align with the act of salvation—the inner transformation that saves belief. By holding to the unseen, you invite the outer world to reflect your inner state. The so-called foolish preaching becomes a simple, present-tense reminder that God is within and that your awakening is already accomplished by attention and feeling. Persisting in this inner conviction rearranges thoughts, feelings, and circumstances, illustrating the cross as the power of consciousness rather than a distant rite.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, declare I am the power of God within me now and feel it as real. Maintain that state, revise any lack, and allow the inner assurance to guide your next actions.
