Inner Power Over Wisdom

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Biblical Context

Paul says he came not with excellency of speech or wisdom, but with the testimony of God. He determined to know nothing among them except Jesus Christ, and he preached in weakness so that faith would rest in the power of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul's claim reveals that the true word is not eloquent speech but the living demonstration of Spirit and power within. When you read his weakness—fear and trembling—consider it not as failure, but as the doorway through which God’s I AM speaks most clearly. The place you feel small is the exact chamber where inner reality is formed: imagination becomes Spirit in visible form, and power manifests not through clever rhetoric, but through the assurance you cultivate in consciousness. The distinction between the wisdom of men and the power of God dissolves when you realize the I AM is always present and you are its instrument. Faith then rests not in external arguments but in the inner certainty that Christ is crucified within—your consciousness is the crucible where all things are created. By dwelling in that demonstration, you shift the field from intellect to trust, and your outward experience aligns with the truth you have consciously assumed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the Christ within you now and revise any sense of lack as your realized power. Feel it real by dwelling in the I AM, letting Spirit demonstrate through your consciousness.
