Neville Goddard on 1 John 5:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 John 5 in context

Scripture Focus

15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

1 John 5:15

Biblical Context

This verse says that if we know God hears us, we can be sure our petitions are granted. It ties answered prayer to the inner certainty of our state.

Neville's Inner Vision

Know first that 'hearing' in this scriptural whisper is not a distant event but a movement of consciousness. When you acknowledge that the I AM hears you—your own awareness—your wish is not an outer favor but a shift you embody. The Father here is the I AM within, not an external ear; therefore the petition is already answered as you settle into the feeling of its fulfillment. The petition you desire is formed in your inner life, and when you assent to its reality with unwavering faith, the outer world must reflect that inner state. Your prayers become confirmations of what you accept as true about yourself; they reveal your true state of consciousness and the Providence that unfurls according to your inner conviction. Trust is not submission to a capricious power but alignment with your own essential nature. As you dwell in the radiance of being, the imagined scene is not a dream but the very structure of now, reordering your experiences to match the inner assumption.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled for a minute, mentally declaring that you are heard and already possessing what you ask for. Let that inner state linger until certainty settles.
