Guarding Inner Resurrection
2 Timothy 2:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Timothy 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul warns to avoid profane, vain talk that spreads ungodliness and notes that false claims about the resurrection undermine faith.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's reading, the verse reveals that inner talk is a governor of life. Profane babblings are not mere words but states of consciousness that erode the vitality of faith, like a canker feasting on the heart's image of God. The 'I AM'—awareness—remains untouched by such chatter, and resurrection is not a historical moment but a present function of consciousness. When someone asserts that the resurrection has passed, they confine possibility and weaken trust in the eternal now. The remedy is to guard the inner state: replace doubt with unwavering assurance, and hold a vivid, sensory image of renewal as if it were presently true. Your imagination becomes the soil in which life rises; by shifting your assumption, you shift the world you experience. Stay with the feeling of being alive, whole, and renewed, and let that felt reality drown out the dissenting voice of past claims.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling: 'The resurrection is now alive in my consciousness.' Revise any contrary thought to 'The resurrection is active today in my life,' and dwell there for a minute with the imagined sensory fullness.
