Inner Resistance to Truth
2 Timothy 3:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Timothy 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
2 Timothy 3:8 contrasts those who resist truth with the names Jannes and Jambres, labeling their minds as corrupt and faithless.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the scene as your inner theatre. Jannes and Jambres are not fixed men in a distant epoch; they are your own stubborn thoughts that resist truth whenever you attempt to awaken to your I AM. They embody corrupt minds and the fear that faith is impossible for you. The command in the verse is not to battle them, but to notice them and return to the truth you are. Truth is the awareness, the I AM that is always present; these resistance movements are thoughts, not facts. When you identify with the belief that you are separate from the fullness, you are in agreement with reprobate faith. Yet truth remains intact, untouched by such mental rhetoric. Now, by assuming the state of truth here and now, by feeling it real, you revise the inner atmosphere. Your imagination becomes Moses, stepping through once-imposed limits. As you persist, the old characters dissolve, and a new consciousness asserts itself—see that you are a living I AM, and resistance has no power over you.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, breathe, and revise the scene: I am the I AM here; Jannes and Jambres drop away as I assume the state of truth now; feel it real until resistance dissolves.
