Neville Goddard on Colossians 4:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Colossians 4 in context

Scripture Focus

3Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

4That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

Colossians 4:3-4

Biblical Context

Paul asks for prayers that God would open a door for him to speak about the mystery of Christ, even while in bonds, so that what he speaks may be made manifest as he ought to say.

Neville's Inner Vision

This verse invites you to recognize that the true door of utterance is within your own consciousness. The ‘mystery of Christ’ is the inner truth that you already are—the I AM made manifest as living presence. The apparent bonds symbolize limiting beliefs, not external confinement; when you assume that God opens a door for your speech, you align your imagination with a higher reality. Speak not from effort but from the conviction that you are the channel through which truth flows. The outer condition must yield when the inner state is in harmony with the eternal I AM, for the inner speech creates the outer scene. The message is not about forceful preaching but about the living Christ within expressing itself through your awareness, making the mystery manifest where you stand.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, and in your mind declare, 'God opens the door of utterance for me now,' then feel the certainty as if the words already flow from the I AM; when ready, speak from that inner authority in your next conversation.
