Inner Will Prayer Insight
1 John 5:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 John 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John 5:14 says we have confidence in prayer when we ask according to God's will, and He hears us. This suggests that aligning our inner state with divine will is essential to answered prayer.
Neville's Inner Vision
John 5:14 invites us into the living realization that confidence in prayer arises when our imagination and inner state are in harmony with the divine will. In Neville’s terms, the will of God is not a distant decree but the natural order of your own consciousness—the I AM you truly are. When you imagine from that timeless awareness, your desires align with the sacred pattern and no struggle is needed. Prayer becomes not bargaining with God but a revising of your inner condition until it feels inevitable. If doubt creeps in, you are out of alignment; return to the I AM and revise until the end feels already accomplished. You are the listener and the speaker, and He hears because you speak from the same essence. Providence shows up as the outward rearrangement of your inner state, and the world rearranges to fit the scene you hold. Trust this alignment, dwell in the fulfilled end, and you will experience hearing and guidance according to your inner will.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, descend into the I AM, and feel your wish as already granted. Then revise any lingering doubt by affirming, 'I am the I AM; I hear and answer according to the divine will.'
