The Inner Sustainer Of All

Colossians 1:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Colossians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Colossians 1:17

Biblical Context

Colossians 1:17 declares that Christ precedes all things, and by Him all things consist. In Neville's view, reality is formed from your inner state of consciousness, and the I AM is the unchanging sustainer behind every appearance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the verse as a mirror of your inward life. He is before all things signals that the only real order is the order your awareness prescribes before any outward event arises. Before any form appears, there is the I AM—the sense of 'I am' that you awaken to, which holds every moment together. By Him all things consist means the world you think you see is built from the belief you hold about yourself and your relationship to life. In Neville's psychology, Christ is not a distant person but the state of consciousness that animates and sustains every scene. When you accept that you are the sovereign presence who infuses existence, you stop chasing external causes and begin revising from within. Your job, health, finances, and relationships are all currents of your inner assumption; change the assumption, and the seen shifts accordingly. The verse invites you to dwell in the awareness that never leaves you—the I AM—knowing it is the active force that binds and sustains all.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit in quiet, feel the I AM as the deep sense of 'I exist here now'; revise a current lack by affirming the complete, already-existing state of whatever you want.
