Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 12:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 12 in context

Scripture Focus

10Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

2 Corinthians 12:10

Biblical Context

Paul says he takes pleasure in infirmities and persecutions because they reveal the inner strength of his consciousness; true power arises from within, not from outward circumstances.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewing this through Neville's lens, infirmities are invitations to reorient the mind. Weakness is not failure but a signal that your inner state must be renewed. I do not seek to strengthen the body by force; I shift my identity to the I AM, the living awareness that animates all. When I feel weak, I do not surrender; I declare that the I AM within me is sovereign, and power already operates as consciousness. The moment I hold to this, the external signs begin to align with the scene I imagined. Remember the law: imagination creates reality, and the strongest act occurs when I accept weakness as a doorway to inner power. Grace and favor arise as the inner state is unwavering, turning trials into demonstrations of the Presence within.

Practice This Now

Tonight, close your eyes and declare in the present tense: I am the I AM, and through this weakness I awaken strength. Visualize a scene where the infirmity dissolves into clear, radiant power, and feel that power as your own.
