Inner Strength and Christ Within
Ephesians 3:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ephesians 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul’s prayer asks that you be strengthened by God's glorious power in your inner being, and that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith, so you are rooted and grounded in love.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within these lines, you are asked to awaken to the truth that God’s power resides as your I AM. The strengthening by the Spirit in the inner man is not a distant intervention but a shift in your state of consciousness: you align with the realization that you are now that which the Spirit energizes, and you stand securely in a vitality that reveals itself as might. When you say 'Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith,' you are choosing to let the indwelling Presence govern your thoughts and feelings, not by belief alone but by the felt reality of the Presence now present in you. Faith becomes the atmosphere in which this Presence rests; the heart is not a place you go to but a condition you inhabit. To be 'rooted and grounded in love' is to anchor your entire sense of self in Love’s studio—an unshakable foundation from which every perception and action flows. Thus, the verse becomes a practical invitation: claim your divine attributes in the present, and watch the interior world rearrange itself to reflect that truth into outward experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the inner man as a living sanctuary; silently declare, 'I am strengthened with might by the Spirit in the inner man,' feeling the Presence saturate your being. Then rest with the conviction that Christ already dwells in your heart by faith, rooted and grounded in love.
