Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 3:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 3 in context

Scripture Focus

9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9

Biblical Context

God's promise comes with patient timing. He desires that all turn their minds toward repentance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this verse as the inner law for your life. The 'Lord' is the I AM within you—your unconditioned awareness that never fails. Longsuffering is the patient practice of consciousness that refuses to abandon a scene until it yields its truth. If you see anyone as lost or past hope, revise that image until it aligns with redemption already present in the mind of God. Repentance, in Neville's sense, is an inward turning of attention—an interior correction of belief—so that your feelings, not your circumstances, prove what you know. Since every person is a state of consciousness, 'all' coming to repentance means every area of life can awaken to the same truth. The promise is kept by your awareness, not by time; delays dissolve as you hold the I AM steady and feel the shift as real. The moment you accept this, you move from fear to faith, and your world rearranges to reflect the new center of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the scene is already transformed—see the person turning toward truth, feel the peace, and rest in the I AM as the change you know to be real.
