Neville Goddard on 2 Timothy 1:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Timothy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:5-7

Biblical Context

Paul reminds Timothy of the sincere faith inherited from his grandmother and mother, and urges him to awaken the gift of God within; God grants power, love, and a sound mind, not fear.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the passage as a map of consciousness. When Paul speaks of unfeigned faith dwelling in thee, see it as a steadfast state of awareness you carry as your inner lineage. The grandmother Lois and mother Eunice symbolize past faith states you can call forth now. Stirring the gift of God is renewing the energy of your inner faculty by deliberate attention and assumption. The laying on of hands becomes an inner imposition of your own awareness, scripting the belief that your I AM is waking the gift. The line about God not giving the spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind reveals fear as a counterfeit state of attention; by dwelling in the felt reality of power, love, and order you dissolve it. This is not external achievement but an awakening of your inner I AM to live as these qualities here and now. Practice this shift, and your experiences align with the empowered state you have assumed.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, recall a moment when you moved in faith; then assume the state, 'I am power, I am love, I am a sound mind,' imagining the gift waking within you and begin to live from that certainty.
