Neville Goddard on Galatians 4:19-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 4 in context

Scripture Focus

19My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

20I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

Galatians 4:19-20

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of parental care whose labor continues until Christ is formed in the believers; the speaker longs to be present and to shift his voice of doubt into assurance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text the 'little children' are your scattered states of consciousness, and the 'travail in birth' is the relentless energy you apply to seed ideas until the right idea becomes real. Christ formed in you is the Christ-idea awakening as your inner sense of I AM, your unshakable awareness that God dwells as you. The speaker’s longing to be present and to change his voice signals your inner shift from projection and doubt to intimate assurance that you live in the one Life. Do not imagine you must persuade God outside yourself; imagine you awaken to the truth that God’s self is your own awareness, and the form follows that realization. The doubt is a worn habit; the form is created by a steady act of assuming the state—know that Christ is formed now in your consciousness. When you accept this, outer changes follow as natural expressions of an inward state: renewed holiness, stronger faith, and a now-present presence in every moment.
