Inner Prayer for All Saints
Ephesians 6:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ephesians 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit implies a continuous, interior conversation with the I AM, sustained by inner watchfulness for the wellbeing of all saints. It speaks to a steady posture of faith, not a single moment of petition.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take this verse as your invitation to live from the I AM rather than from outward conditions. When I 'pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit', I awaken to the truth that prayer is the atmosphere of consciousness itself. It is not a ritual to be performed occasionally but a continuous note, a vibration of gratitude and need that voices through the inner chamber of awareness. 'Watching thereunto with all perseverance' becomes the practiced stance of unwavering attention, a gentle alertness that refuses to be distracted by appearances. 'For all saints' signifies the extension of this inner climate to every form of life I touch; as I hold this truth for others, I align the entire field of my experience with the blessed state I envision. In this light, the Spirit is not distant but the very energy of my awareness; imagination gives form to reality and the world around me rearranges to match the consciousness I maintain. The result is a living harmony where prayer is a daily, felt reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume the feeling 'I AM always praying in the Spirit' and imagine a gentle, inward watchfulness. Then picture all saints bathed in the blessed state you hold, and feel the reality of that prayer already accomplished.
