Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

3Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Biblical Context

Paul blesses God, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who consoles us in every trouble so that we can comfort others.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this passage, God is not a distant power but the I AM you are aware of. The Father of mercies and the God of all comfort is the gentle current of awareness that holds you, even in seeming tribulation. Tribulation is a movement in consciousness, a disturbance that seems to separate you from your wholeness. The moment you acknowledge that comfort resides within your own consciousness, you are comforted by God from within. This inner comfort is felt as a steady, warm presence, a quiet conviction that all things are held in your awareness. Because you have been comforted, you are now a conduit of that same mercy for others; you give comfort not by effort, but by the reality you radiate from your realized state. The “they in trouble” are others waiting for the shift of consciousness you have already embraced. Return to this assumption whenever you face distress: I am comforted, therefore I comfort; I am the I AM feeling itself, and the world rearranges to reflect that comfort.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'God, the Father of mercies, I am comforted now,' feeling that warmth in your chest. Then imagine someone you know in trouble being touched by that same inner comfort you have realized, as you silently offer them that peace.
