Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 4:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 4 in context

Scripture Focus

7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

2 Corinthians 4:7

Biblical Context

The verse states that a divine treasure dwells inside an ordinary, fragile container, and that the power at work is God, not human effort.

Neville's Inner Vision

This line reveals a profound psychological truth: the treasure is not a possession of the flesh but a state of consciousness—the divine life within you. The earthen vessel is your mortal self, the surface identity you call by name. The excellence of power comes from God, the I AM within, when you acknowledge that you are not the source but the conduit. In this light, your imagination becomes the instrument through which the divine breathes and acts. Do not rely on your limited will; instead dwell in the awareness that God operates through you as your awareness. Your life then becomes a collaboration with grace, where providence appears as the natural outflow of an inner state embraced as real. Humility arises not from negation but from alignment: you are the vessel through which the all-sufficient power moves. When this inner truth is believed, struggles soften, and the world responds to your transformed state as evidence of power that is already yours in God.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM within me now; the divine power operates through this vessel.' Feel a warm current of light moving from your chest through your limbs, guiding every thought and action as if you are a conduit for grace.
