Love, Gifts, and Prophecy Within

1 Corinthians 14:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 14 in context

Scripture Focus

1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:1

Biblical Context

The verse urges pursuing love and spiritual gifts. It frames prophecy as the supreme outcome of that pursuit and the inner revelation of your I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this verse as an invitation to shift your inner state. Follow after charity means live from love as your baseline awareness; let compassion saturate every feeling and image you entertain. Desire spiritual gifts means you welcome the faculties of inner knowing and creative energy as your natural birthright. But the end is that you may prophesy—not as predicting weather, but as the mouth of your own consciousness revealing truth that heals, guides, and clarifies. Prophecy is the act of translating an inner conviction into spoken or written form that others can feel as their own truth. In Neville’s terms, what you call outer life is the echo of what you have imagined inwardly. If you want to see prophecy in your life, you must first imagine with the feeling of its certainty. Silence doubt, assume the presence of awareness that already knows what to say and what to do. The I AM is not distant; it is the living witness behind every thought, every word, every action. Your love creates the space in which prophecy occurs.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume the state 'I am love-aware; I know what to say; I speak truth that heals.' Then speak or write a single sentence expressing that inner truth to bless a situation right now.
