Inner Witness, Outer Proof

2 Corinthians 13:1-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 13 in context

Scripture Focus

1This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
3Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
5Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
2 Corinthians 13:1-6

Biblical Context

Paul invokes the principle that truth is established by two or three witnesses and warns of forthcoming visits. He then commands self-examination, insisting that Christ dwells in believers and that God’s power sustains them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is the inner courtroom where the I AM testifies to itself. The two or three witnesses are not outside voices but steady states of consciousness you accept as true. When Paul says that Christ speaking in me is mighty in you, he points to the inward nature of power: weakness is the door through which a greater power enters; the living Christ within you is the Power that animates every word. You may feel exposed or fragile, but remember: God’s power operates through your acknowledged state. To prove Christ in you is to shift the assumption from separation to inner unity. When you examine yourself, you are not testing God but aligning your present sense of self with your desired reality. If you persist in the awareness that Jesus Christ is in you, that awareness becomes your literal experience, and the sense of being 'reprobate' dissolves as a misalignment. Trust that the power of God is toward you and through you when you dwell in your true self.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and dwell in the I AM within you; assume the state, 'Christ is in me now, the power of God is active in me.' Let two or three inner witnesses confirm this truth as you feel the reality of your oneness.
