Inner Election And Power

1 Thessalonians 1:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Thessalonians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

4Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
1 Thessalonians 1:4-5

Biblical Context

Paul affirms that believers are chosen by God. The gospel came to them not merely in words but with power, the Holy Spirit, and much assurance, demonstrated by their transformed conduct.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your election of God is the inward recognition that you are the I AM, already chosen and favored by the eternal presence within. The gospel does not arrive as a mere collection of words; it comes as power when your inner state is awake to that reality, when imagination is steadied on the fact of your divine sonship. The Holy Spirit is not external fire but the living energy of consciousness moving through you, confirming what you already are. The abundant assurance spoken of is not a doubt dissolved by argument, but a heightened certainty felt in the chest and the solar plexus as you align with your true identity. The words we spoke about our conduct among you become mirrors of your own inner condition—see how we were among you 'for your sake' by the light you now recognize in yourself. Covenant loyalty is your daily return to that awareness; grace and favor unfold as you persist in the assumed state. Trust that salvation and redemption are ongoing, here and now, as you dwell in the awareness that God’s election is your own.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of being elected by God and let it saturate your nervous system; revise any sense of unworthiness until your inner atmosphere mirrors heaven's election.
