2 Corinthians 1:9-10

Biblical Context

The passage marks a shift from reliance on one's own strength to confidence in the inner God who gives life and deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul speaks from a felt defeat, yet his instruction is the movement of consciousness. 'We had the sentence of death in ourselves' marks a belief in limitation; 'not in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead' points to the inner God, the I AM, the life animating every thought. To trust this God is to revise the self away from fear toward the power within. The deliverance 'from so great a death' is the appearance of courage, clarity, and new circumstance as the activity of consciousness. And 'in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us' declares an ongoing certainty: the same inner power that rescues now continues to rescue. Your act is to imagine you are already delivered, feel the relief, and dwell in that inner truth until outward events align. By using imagination as the instrument of God within, you move from death-sense to life-sense and witness Providence guiding every experience.
