Neville Goddard on 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Thessalonians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

2And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-2

Biblical Context

Paul asks brethren to intercede for the word to move freely and be glorified, just as it already does among them. He also requests protection from hostile, faithless minds.

Neville's Inner Vision

In a Neville Goddard reading the prayer is not a petition to an external power but a shift of consciousness. When you say pray for us you are really inviting the word of the Lord to have free course in your own mind, allowing the living idea of your desired state to express itself without hindrance. The word is the inner truth, the Christ within you; free course means its clear and uninterrupted expression in your daily life. The unreasonable and wicked men are not outsiders but the stubborn habits of doubt, fear, and resistance that bar the gates of consciousness. All men have not faith becomes the recognition that certain states in you at times refuse faith, preferring limitation; yet you as the I AM can override them by steadfast faith. To be delivered is to remember that you are creator of your inner atmosphere, and your inner truth can prevail over any outer contradiction. Thus you cultivate gratitude and quiet assurance, imagining the word already flourishing and glorified in your experience, and awaken to the reality that nothing outside can block what you have inwardly declared as true.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and assume I am the Word moving freely in my life, feeling it real and already done; revise any sense of obstruction by affirming faith and allowance.
