Inner Eyes Enlightened By Prayer

Ephesians 1:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ephesians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Ephesians 1:17-19

Biblical Context

Paul prays that believers receive a spirit of wisdom and revelation, opening the eyes of understanding to know the hope of God's calling, the riches of the saints' inheritance, and the surpassing power available to those who believe.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this line as a map for the inner state you inhabit. The God of our Lord Jesus Christ is the I AM within you, and the spirit of wisdom and revelation arises when you choose to awaken to your true self. The eyes of your understanding open not by begging, but by assuming the truth you already are — a being clothed in divine knowledge. When you behold the hope of His calling, you stop looking for enlightenment as something outside and begin living from your premier identity, a saint whose riches lie in the inheritance of glory. The phrase about power is equally practical: the immeasurable greatness of power toward believers is the power you exercise the moment you believe the truth about yourself. It acts through your inner revision, your imaginal act, and your steady dwelling in the state of the answer. In this light, salvation becomes not a distant event but an inner transformation and an ongoing radiance that manifests outwardly as you persist in the created feeling of the truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes and assume you are already endowed with wisdom and revelation; feel the inner sight brightening and rejoice in your calling; then rest in that belief until it feels real.
