The Inner Wrath Of Disobedience
Colossians 3:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Colossians 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Colossians 3:6-7 warns that disobedience invites divine wrath, and that you once walked in those ways when you lived in them. It points to old patterns, now ready to be revised by inner transformation.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Colossians, the wrath described is not a thunderbolt from a distant sky but the price you pay when you identify with a disobedient state of consciousness. The 'children of disobedience' are the parts of you that have believed themselves separate from the I AM. When you lived in them, you felt guilt, fear, and the sense that you are ruled by laws you did not decree. But these scenes of anger and blame arise only as long as you identify with an old self-image. The moment you awaken to the truth that God is the I AM within, the entire drama loosens its grip. The 'wrath' dissolves into a corrective awareness, inviting you to revise your inner conditions rather than to fear an external judge. The past is not a punishment but a memory of a consciousness you have outgrown. Your task is to reidentify with the living, obedient I AM and to inhabit that state through imagining and feeling as if it were already true. When you do, the old patterns fade and you stand in a new present where nothing disobeys the law of your being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the state 'I AM now governs my life.' Feel the obedience of that I AM and dwell there for five minutes, allowing the old pattern to dissolve as you imagine it already done.
