Neville Goddard on 2 Thessalonians 3:5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Thessalonians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

5And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

2 Thessalonians 3:5

Biblical Context

It invites you to direct your inner heart toward the love of God. It also calls you to cultivate patient expectancy of Christ within.

Neville's Inner Vision

The Lord is not distant but your own I AM, the awakened awareness that now directs your heart. When Thessalonians tells you to direct your hearts into the love of God, it is a call to discontinue the stray movements of the mind and settle into the state of love that you already are. The love of God is a state of consciousness, not a feeling you chase outside. To be patient is to dwell in the assured expectation that the Christ, the perfect idea of God, is present in your life now; waiting is not waiting for something to happen but the quiet assurance that it is already present in your awareness. By choosing this inner direction—into love and into the patient, serene expectancy—you discipline your attention, align your thoughts with truth, and permit your world to reflect that inner reality. Practically, this is a daily revision: assume you are loved, and that Christ is fully present; let that assurance loosen fear and animate perseverance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state 'I am directing my heart into the love of God and patiently awaiting Christ within.' Sit quietly, feel that love as a tangible reality, and maintain it for 5 minutes, then proceed with one simple action inspired by that inner state.
