Gathered in Christ's Power
1 Corinthians 5:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It states that when believers gather in the name of Jesus, with the speaker's spirit, together with Christ's power, a divine presence and orderly influence operate among them.
Neville's Inner Vision
See this verse as a map of your inner life. The 'name of our Lord Jesus Christ' is the state of consciousness you assume—the I AM animated by Christ-power. When you 'gather' in that name, you knit your scattered thoughts, beliefs, and desires into a single, focused awareness. 'My spirit' is your inner sense of authority, the feeling that you are the conduit of divine truth. 'With the power of our Lord Jesus Christ' is the living energy of imagination rightly directed—the law that makes a pictured end your present experience. The passage invites you to operate from a united inner state, where discord is only a signal to revise your assumption. As you dwell in that unity, your thoughts, feelings, and relationships align with a disciplined harmony, not by struggle but by the natural order of consciousness when you accept the kingdom within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: 'I am gathered with Christ's power now.' Feel the unity as if living in a single breath with the Lord. Then revise a current situation by affirming it already exists within that power and observe the shift.
