Neville Goddard on 1 Thessalonians 5:23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Thessalonians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

Biblical Context

Paul prays that the God of peace would sanctify you wholly, preserving your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—blameless until Christ comes.

Neville's Inner Vision

The God of peace is the I AM within you, the constant awareness that frames every thought, feeling, and action. Sanctifying you wholly means aligning your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—under one truth: you are already complete in God. This sanctification is not an external act, but a revision of your inner self, bringing all faculties into harmony so the ‘I AM’ governs your life. When you dwell in that truth now, you are preserved blameless until the coming of the Lord—an inner coming, the birth of Christ as your self-awareness. Let your spirit lead, your soul follow, and your body yield to that quiet uniformity. Fear dissolves; purity remains; peace fills the temple of your personality. Practically, revise every thought to the assumption that you are one with God, and feel this wholeness as real in the chest and breath.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state, 'I AM sanctified, holy, and whole,' and feel the peace as you breathe; dwell in that single consciousness until it is your natural state.
