Headship and Prayer Alignment
1 Corinthians 11:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In 11:4–5, Paul links outward signs in worship to inner order: a man praying with a covered head dishonors his head, while a woman praying or prophesying with an uncovered head dishonors her head.
Neville's Inner Vision
That line about head coverings is not about fabric; it is a map of your inner state. In your imagination, 'head' is the ruling consciousness—the I AM that governs every thought, feeling, and event. To pray or prophesy with a 'covered head' is to clothe your inner authority with dependence on outer signs; to uncover is to reveal an inner readiness to act from your own inner sovereignty. The message is not about gender but about inner receptivity and assertion in your soul. When you dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, you need no exterior signs to validate your power; your prayers and prophecies arise from a single, ordered state. Dishonor occurs when your outward gesture contradicts your inner realization that all authority resides within you. Thus, cultivate the inner posture of dignity and unity—holiness as your natural state and separation as a misperception of the self. Let every petition be a decree of your inner I AM, and watch your life align with that decree.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In stillness, assume the feeling 'I am the head'—the I AM ordering all inner states. Envision your inner awareness wrapped in reverence as you pray or decree, then release any sense of dependence on external signs until your words flow from that sovereign inner state.
