Open Doors in Ephesus Within
1 Corinthians 16:8-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul stays in Ephesus until Pentecost as a great door of opportunity opens, even though there are many adversaries. He expects Timotheus to arrive and join in the Lord's work without fear.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how the verse places you inside a door of opportunity opened in your own consciousness. The great door is not a place in time but a movement of awareness that invites you to expand your state. The decision to tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost becomes your determination to stay in the present state long enough for the inner turning point to occur. The many adversaries are not external foes but the currents of fear, doubt, and habit inside you that resist your expansion. Your work is to maintain a fixed assumption of your I AM presence and the certainty that you are already performing the work of the Lord in your inner life. Timotheus coming without fear symbolizes a complementary aspect within you—perhaps discipline, courage, or practical service—that you welcome as you align with your true nature. When you allow both parts to work together, the door opens wider and you perceive results in your life as existing now in your consciousness. The message is simple: hold the conviction that you are already at work in the very state you desire, and outer events will follow.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are already in the opened door; revise to the feeling that you are working the Lord's work within. Then keep awareness there for a few minutes today, letting your inner Timotheus arrive and stand with you without fear.
