Inner Confidence And Heart Direction
2 Thessalonians 3:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Thessalonians 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul expresses confidence that the believers will do what he commands, and that God will direct their hearts toward divine love and patient waiting for Christ.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the master key is given: confidence arises not from outward signs, but from an inner state you assume now. The 'Lord' spoken of is the I AM inside you, the aware being that already holds the finished outcome. When you imagine that you are doing what you are asked to do, you are not obeying a rule; you are aligning your inner being with the state of the action as if it were already complete. The directive to have your heart directed into the love of God and into patient waiting for Christ becomes a discipline of consciousness—cultivating love as your ambient condition and letting time be the natural rhythm of inner becoming. If you quietly dwell in that sense, feeling the love of God flood your heart, you will find your actions harmonizing with the divine direction. The 'confidence in the Lord' then is not future assurance, but present awareness: you are already the one who fulfills the commands as the I AM perceives them. Therefore, revise any lack as you would a thought and let imagination do the heavy lifting; reality follows from the state you inhabit in consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, affirm I AM and imagine yourself already doing the commanded acts. Let the love of God flood your heart and feel the patient stillness of the Christ within.
