Inner Receiving Through Obedience
1 John 3:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 John 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse teaches that our requests are granted when we keep God's commandments and live in a way that pleases Him.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the spiritual hearer, these words reveal that God is the awareness behind every desire, and your asking is only true when your inner state aligns with obedience to the divine order. When you dwell in that consciousness—feeling your nature as law, and vividly imagining the end you seek—you do not petition from lack but from the certainty that your request already exists in the universal memory. The commandments become streamlines of attention; your yes to love, integrity, and alignment becomes the interior motion that makes the outer world respond. The act of asking becomes an act of identification: you are the one who has already received because you have already become the state that receives. Thus, every prayer is a remembering, not a begging, and every answer is a return to your own true self.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: pick a concrete wish, assume its fulfillment now, and hold the image with the certainty that you are already the one who has it. Repeat the feeling of I am receiving the wish, while keeping your inner commandments in view.
