Inner Authority Of Knowledge

2 Corinthians 11:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 11 in context

Scripture Focus

5For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
2 Corinthians 11:5-6

Biblical Context

Paul asserts he is not inferior to the chief apostles in knowledge, and though his speech may be blunt, his knowledge has been clearly manifested among them. The emphasis is that inner truth is demonstrated outwardly, regardless of manner.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville’s ear, this text speaks of states of consciousness rather than external rank. Not being behind the chief apostles signals an inward assurance that your awareness already contains certainty, while outward speech may appear rough. The surface bluntness reveals nothing about inner power; the true authority lies in the knowledge that has already been demonstrated in life. Do not seek validation from supposed leaders; you are the I AM, the living awareness that makes all things known. When you feel small or overlooked, remember that truth is not measured by etiquette but by the inner demonstration your imagination yields. The verse invites you to trust that your inner perception can prove itself in experience; a well-worn conviction is the standard of authority, and humility is the calm confidence of one who knows. Shift your self-conception from lack to fullness; assume the authority you desire, feel it real now, and watch outward scenes align with your inner decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit with eyes closed and assume the statement, 'I am the I AM, fully knowledgeable and recognized now.' Feel it real in your chest and imagine a concrete scene where this truth is acknowledged by others, then carry that feeling into your day.
