Stood With Me, Inner Deliverance
2 Timothy 4:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Timothy 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul states that the Lord stood with him and strengthened him, so his preaching could be heard by all the Gentiles, and he was delivered from danger.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let us translate this into your inner theatre. The Lord who stood with Paul is the I AM present within you, the vivid awareness that animates every breath. Strengthening is not an external acquisition but the liberating energy of imagination you permit to flow through your inner atmosphere. When you say I am held and strengthened, you align your outer activity with your innermost state, and the message you voice to the world takes its form from that alignment. The mouth of the lion represents fear, limitation, or circumstance trying to devour your sense of self; yet the verse promises deliverance by elevating your consciousness to its native kingdom. The heavenly kingdom is not a distant realm but a present state preserved by your I AM, a living sanctuary you enter by truth embraced now. The practical conclusion: when you face what seems like danger, return to the conviction that you are unconditionally supported by your inner God. Through unwavering assumption you do not merely endure; you reveal the sovereign reality of your consciousness.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and repeat the assumption I am held by the Lord, strengthened, delivered from every evil, and preserved in my heavenly kingdom until it feels real. Let that feeling settle into your bones as you go about your day.
