Inner Word at Work

1 Thessalonians 2:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Thessalonians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

13For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
1 Thessalonians 2:13

Biblical Context

Paul thanks God that you received the word not as human speech but as truth that is God’s, and that truth is active in those who believe.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the word spoken by Paul is not a distant message but a living frequency within you. In this moment, the act of receiving becomes a turning of your attention from external voices to the inner I AM, the God within. When you hear the word rightly, you do not measure it by human authority, but recognize it as truth that is effective only in belief. The apostle’s thanks is an acknowledgment that consciousness can wake to itself: the word is not out there to pry open events; it is a power that awakens belief in the heart. As you believe, the word begins to do its work—transforms your dispositions, aligns thought with truth, and liberates your desires from fear. The difference between hearing as a man’s tale and hearing as God’s own word is the level of trust you inhabit. When you believe, imagination stirs and confirms the reality of what you accept as true, and the inner Word begins to work in you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the Word is already true in you, and repeat the phrase The Word is truth in me, and I am its living proof, until it feels like your immediate reality.
