Inner Watchfulness: Ephesians 5:6-7
Ephesians 5:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ephesians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Be not deceived by vain words; such speaking marks inner disobedience and invites the wrath of God. Do not participate with those who feed such talk.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, notice that the scripture speaks to your inner theater, not to distant enemies. 'Let no man deceive you with vain words' describes the constant chatter of appearances that would seduce your attention away from the I AM that you are. The 'wrath of God' is the natural consequence of inner disobedience—your insistence on believing separation and lack rather than the one living truth. When you yield to such speech, you partake with the 'children of disobedience' in a dream of disjointed perception, and life mirrors that dream as conflict, fear, and lack. But you can reverse this by awakening to the consciousness of your own I AM, the steadfast reality of your being. Stand in the certainty that you are already aligned with divine order, and refuse to identify with the noise of others. Your revision is a simple act of assumption: I AM one with the truth; I am not deceived; I now live from obedience to the inner light. As you hold this, the inner state shifts and the outward world follows.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Select a prevailing belief you've accepted from outward chatter; sit quietly, repeat 'I AM the truth of my life' and revise it to 'I am aligned with divine order now,' feeling the reality of that state.
