Neville Goddard on 2 Thessalonians 3:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Thessalonians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

7For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

2 Thessalonians 3:6-7

Biblical Context

The passage commands believers to withdraw from those who walk disorderly and to imitate the disciplined example the teachers set.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the command is not a sword of judgment but a summons to inner alignment. To withdraw yourselves from disorderly walking means you turn your attention away from thoughts and stories that unsettle your mind. The name of our Lord Jesus Christ anchors the act as a return to the I AM, the steady center of your awareness. The tradition spoken of by Paul becomes an inner tradition, a line of disciplined consciousness you already know how to follow. When you choose to behave not disorderly, you demonstrate a consciousness that acts from order rather than impulse; you become the example others may imitate by virtue of your steadiness. This inner boundary protects your life from the tremor of chaotic feeling and restores you to a clear sense of purpose. The practical effect is a revision in your inner state that reorders your relationships and daily experience. Practice this by assuming a state of orderly being and repeating that you withdraw from disorder, aligning with the tradition of right living in you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare I withdraw my attention from disorderly thoughts and align with the I AM as my standard. Then visualize yourself moving through your day with calm, orderly energy, following the inner tradition you received.
