Trials to Glory Within
1 Peter 1:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter speaks of rejoicing in trials, even while heaviness comes. The testing of faith is precious and leads to praise, honor, and glory at Christ's appearing.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the letter tells you that heaviness comes as you move through seasons of temptation, but the fire is not an assault upon you; it is your own consciousness being clarified. The trial of faith is not your enemy but your instructor, refining what you believe about who you are. Gold perisheth, says the world; yet faith that trusts the unseen is far more precious because it survives the furnace and remains intact when the form changes. When you endure, you are not losing something but waking something—the true self, the I AM you carry. The appearing of Jesus Christ, in Neville terms, is the moment your awareness witnesses the truth you have always been: that you are the source of all you perceive. Each temptation becomes a signal to return to the inner sanctuary, to identify with the consciousness that creates worlds rather than the transient scene it watches. As you hold to this, your heaviness loosens, and the inner gold—faith refined—shines as praise, honor, and glory returned to you here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you already inhabit the state you seek—joyful faith, enduring patience, radiant peace. Feel it as if it were now; repeat 'I AM this' until it becomes your immediate sensation.
