Walking in Spirit, Inner Freedom
Galatians 5:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Galatians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Galatians 5:16-18 urges you to walk by the Spirit so the desires of the flesh are not fulfilled. It says the Spirit and the flesh oppose each other; being Spirit-led frees you from under the Law.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text you are not asked to wage war against your body, but to awaken to the I AM which already walks in you. When you 'walk in the Spirit,' you are simply recognizing the one life that governs every moment, the Spirit that is never at odds with itself. The so-called flesh and Spirit are not rival selves but two readings of the same consciousness; you have merely been identifying with the former. As you yield to the Spirit, you find that the old cravings lose their claim, not by denial, but by re-identification—awareness shifts from the restless sense of lack to the spacious presence that supports all possibility. You are not under the law when you live as the led-by-Spirit I AM, because the law is a parchment for the unawakened mind; your awakening makes it obsolete. Practice this shift: claim now that you are led by the Spirit, feel the spacious calm of your true nature, and watch external appearances align with that inner reality as a natural fruit of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the premise: I am led by the Spirit now. Feel that reality already present, guiding your next thought and step.
