Inner Walk By Faith
2 Corinthians 5:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Corinthians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses teach that believers live by faith rather than appearances, and they prefer the inner reality of being with the Lord over the outer sense of the body.
Neville's Inner Vision
To walk by faith is to dwell in the consciousness that the unseen Lord is already present here and now. 'Absent from the body' signals a release from the mere sense of physical form, and 'present with the Lord' is the realization of God as your I AM, your constant awareness. When you shift your inner state to this Presence, the body appears as a symbol, not a limitation; the Lord you seek is the vivifying awareness you already are. Faith thus becomes the discipline of living from within, where impossible appearances bend to the certainty of a higher reality. The verse invites you to keep your attention on the inner kingdom, where God dwells as you. The future you crave is the present conviction you cultivate. Imagination for Neville is the instrument through which this shift occurs; feel it real now, and let the sense of separation dissolve into unity with the divine center you call I AM.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, breathe into the inner I AM, and assume 'I am present with the Lord' as a felt reality now. Let the inner certainty dissolve any sense of separation and ride that feeling until it becomes your natural state.
