The Heavenly Garment Within
2 Corinthians 5:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Corinthians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul speaks of groaning in longing to be clothed with a heavenly dwelling; the future clothing is a present possibility. When clothed with this heavenly house, we shall not be found naked.
Neville's Inner Vision
Paul invites a turning of attention from outward appearance to inward form. The 'house from heaven' is not a structure you build; it is the state you presently occupy as I AM. To be clothed is to assume the feeling that you are already in possession of your divine garment, a garment born of imagination that makes you immune to exposure and lack. When you dwell in that state, you stop groaning over appearances and live from the reality that your true self, your heavenly body, clothes you now. Nakedness in this sense is the disposed ego, the old self laid bare before the self that knows its unity with God. The moment you accept this inner garment, you are not awaiting a future event but stepping into it here and now, a resurrection by awareness, a purification of consciousness, a separation from fear.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine wearing a radiant, lightweight garment imprinted with your I AM; silently say, I am clothed with my heavenly house now. Then spend 2–3 minutes feeling the weight, warmth, and security of this garment, letting it revise any sense of lack.
