Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 1:17-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

17When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

18But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

20For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

21Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

2 Corinthians 1:17-21

Biblical Context

Paul emphasizes that God's truthfulness makes his promises reliable in Christ, not a mixed declaration of yes and no.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your psychic life every word you utter must reflect the absolute stability of God. The text teaches that the divine 'yes' is not partial or conditional; in Christ all divine promises are yes and Amen. You, as the I AM, are the conscious ground where this certainty is deposited. When you assume any outcome, you are aligning your inner state with the unchanging nature of God,—not tugging at fate but agreeing with it. Your intention must cease to play the game of fleshly fluctuation; instead, anchor in the awareness that God establishes you in Christ and empowers your message to be a stable, unified yes. The apostolic preaching becomes not external persuasion but an inner belief that converts possibility into actuality, through steadfast faith and covenant loyalty. Let the mind rest in the conviction that your word toward the world is consistent, and your life will reflect the divine affirmation that all promises find their completion in the one who is true.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume the state 'God is true.' Feel your inner word as a steady 'yes' that cannot fail; dwell there until you sense all promises as already realized in Christ.
