Assured Escape From Temptation
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul warns that thinking you stand can invite a fall; temptations are common to all. Yet God is faithful and will provide a way to endure the trial.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you the I AM is always faithful, not merely watching but actively shaping your inner weather. When you think you stand, you unconsciously set a boundary in consciousness that invites a fall; temptation then arises as the old story reasserting itself. Yet the text offers a practical truth: temptations are not unique to you alone; they are the common dream, which you can wake from by changing your inner posture. The 'way to escape' is not a separate exit but a revision in your sense of self—an inner assumption that you are already free and intact. As you align with the one reality of your being—the I AM—you discover you can bear the moment because you are awareness itself, not the thought that passes through. Providence and Grace become tangible as you persist in this shift: a fresh image, a quiet trust, and the feeling that the door to peace was always open within. So persist: refuse to identify with the temptation, and persist in the certainty that you are the I AM, already standing, already safe.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, gently inhale, and declare 'I AM the I AM, and I am free now.' Then picture a bright doorway within your mind and step through it, feeling the relief of safety in you.
