Overcoming Inner Hindrance

1 Thessalonians 2:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Thessalonians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

18Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
1 Thessalonians 2:18

Biblical Context

Paul desired to visit you again, but he states that Satan hindered him from coming.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul’s wish to return to you represents the natural drive of consciousness toward its fulfilled state. The phrase 'but Satan hindered us' points not to a literal external foe, but to an inner habit—an impersonal, imaginative resistance built from fear, doubt, and the belief in separation from the desired end. In Neville’s view, the I AM, the consciousness that you are, is the true actor; when you identify with lack or delay, you cast a shadow over the coming. The moment you assume the end as already real, the barrier dissolves. The message invites you to shift from outer appearances to an inner conviction: you have already arrived in the state you seek. By returning to the end and reimagining the scene from that end, you awaken the flow of your earthly events to correspond with your inner reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene: imagine you have already come to them; feel the welcome and the joy as if the visit is happening now. Hold that end-state in your heart until it becomes your felt reality.
