Neville Goddard on 1 Peter 4:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Peter 4 in context

Scripture Focus

10As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

1 Peter 4:10

Biblical Context

Each person has received a divine gift, and we are called to minister that gift to others as stewards of God's manifold grace. Our posture is to let grace flow through acts of service.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the verse as an inner economy. The 'gift' is not a thing out there, but a state of consciousness you already possess. To 'minister the same one to another' means you acknowledge and express through actions a quality you carry within the I AM. The manifold grace of God is the endless streams of awareness that pour through you when you are not grasping but releasing them. You are not giving something away; you are becoming a conduit. When you operate from this inner stance, you see people as receivers of your grace, not as separate from you. The gift you offer is the expression of your inner abundance—your kindness, skill, courage, or encouragement—flowing because you imagine you are already full. Practically, revise any sense of lack by declaring, 'I am a conduit of God's grace; I give what I am receiving.' Cultivate the feeling of generosity, and watch the world respond with receptivity. The manifold nature invites many forms—listening, teaching, helping—through the same inward gift, repeatedly.

Practice This Now

Imagine tonight that you are a conduit of grace. Sit quietly, declare, 'I am the steward of manifold grace.' Visualize a person who needs your gift and see it flowing to them as light from your hands, then feel their receiving response.
