Wholly Sanctified Now: I AM

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 - A Neville Goddard 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.
24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Biblical Context

Paul petitions God to sanctify you wholly—spirit, soul, and body—so you remain blameless until Christ's coming; and he asserts God's faithfulness to do it.

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, as I read this, the God of peace is not a distant deity but my own I AM—the serene awareness that never departs from the scene. Sanctify you wholly becomes a ruling of consciousness: the spirit, the soul, and the body are one field and must be kept blameless by the alignment of my inner state with truth. The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ refers to the moment I dwell in the recognition of the Self that never changes; in that instant, all departments of me feel the touch of fullness. Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it, means the call arises from within and will be accomplished by the consistency of my imagination. If I hold the assumption that I am already sanctified—spirit fully turned toward peace, mind steady, body harmonized—I allow the natural law of consciousness to work on itself, weaving unity where there was discord. The discipline is not ritual but inner attention, a decision to live as the unchanging I AM here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM sanctified wholly,' and visualize your entire being bathed in peace—spirit, soul, and body in harmony. Stay with the felt sense until it becomes real.
