Colossians 1:9

Biblical Context

Paul states that he continually prays for the Colossians to be filled with the knowledge of God's will, with wisdom and spiritual understanding.

Neville's Inner Vision

Colossians 1:9 invites you to realize that the 'will' you seek is a state of consciousness you can enter now. The verse is not asking God to send more knowledge from outside, but to awaken the I AM within as the channel of wisdom and spiritual understanding. When you dwell in that inner state, your prayers for others become a conditioning of your own awareness: you desire that they be filled with the knowledge of their own divine will, and you prove it by your own steadiness in knowing. Neville's method teaches that you do not chase facts; you shift the state from which facts unfold. By assuming you are already filled with knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, you let the I AM guide your perceptions, choices, and relationships. The moment you feel that truth as real, your outer world rearranges to reflect it, and both you and others move in harmony with the inner will.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the state: 'I am filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.' Feel the conviction as if it already is, and let your next decision ripple from that inner knowing.
