Neville Goddard on 2 Timothy 1:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Timothy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

3I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

4Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

2 Timothy 1:3-5

Biblical Context

Paul expresses gratitude to God, praying for Timothy without ceasing, and recalls the unfeigned faith first found in Lois and Eunice, confident it lives in Timothy too.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's mode of reading, this passage is a map of consciousness. Paul does not praise a distant deity, but the awareness you choose to become when you 'pray' night and day. The forefathers and mothers of faith are not external ancestors; they are the stairways of your own inner state. When Paul says he thanks God, he is honoring the I AM in you that remembers and sustains. The tears are not sorrow but the emotional charge of a faith remembered, a readiness to be filled with joy by the current of belief flowing in the present moment. The phrase unfeigned faith that dwelt first in Lois and Eunice points to an undiminished, unpretended state of faith that you can claim now as yours. If you call to remembrance that sacred trust, you "am persuaded" that it resides in you as a living possibility. Therefore the entire scene is your inner mechanism—prayer, remembrance, and assurance—coiled into one dynamic, here and now, shaping your life by the reality you accept as true.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and recall the unfeigned faith described in the text. Assume that this faith is already present in you now; feel its joy rising as you quietly acknowledge the I AM within and keep the remembrance active through ongoing inner prayer.
