Inner Exhortation for Unity
1 Thessalonians 5:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Thessalonians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul's exhortation calls believers to care for one another: warn the unruly, comfort the discouraged, support the weak, and be patient with all.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville’s reading, the 'brethren' are not external people alone but states of your own consciousness. The charge to warn the unruly is the inner correction of thoughts that refuse discipline, a revision of mind toward obedience to your I AM. To comfort the feebleminded is to soothe the anxious, doubting parts of you by dwelling in the feeling that you are already whole and guided. To support the weak is to lend steady, creative attention to any aspect of yourself that feels diminished—focusing your awareness on the strength that you already are. Patience toward all men becomes the unwavering tempo of your inner life, a steady acknowledgment that reality shifts not by force but by the consistency of imagination. When you accept that God, or I AM, dwells within, these roles become voluntary states you inhabit, and the outer world mirrors the inner state you affirm.
Practice This Now
Impose a simple revision tonight: in your imagination, see each 'brethren' aspect—unruly thoughts, feebleminded fears, weak energies—as inner states you can guide with patient I AM presence. Feel it real by repeating, 'I AM that I AM, and I am at peace with all states of consciousness.'
