Inner Vessels, Living Wisdom
2 Timothy 2:20-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Timothy 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse uses the image of a great house with vessels of different metals to show that inner traits determine value; purging the dishonorable enables one to become sanctified and useful for good works.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the great house of your mind, every thought is a vessel and every habit a material. Gold and silver stand for crowned states of awareness; wood and earth for residual patterns that dishonor your true self. Purge yourself of these, and you become a vessel unto honor—sanctified, fit for the master's use, prepared for every good work. Flee youthful lusts; instead follow righteousness, faith, charity, and peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don’t waste time with foolish questions that only stir strife; the servant of the Lord must be gentle, apt to teach, patient, meek. In the moment you consent to repentance and acknowledge the truth as you now see it, you recover yourself from the snares of limitation, the devil’s trick of keeping you captive to former beliefs. Remember: you are the I AM, and by imagining the state you desire you call it into being in your world.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the state you seek: I am sanctified and meet for the master's use. Feel the purge of old patterns and the readiness for good works, right now.
