Neville Goddard on Hebrews 4:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 4 in context

Scripture Focus

10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Hebrews 4:10-11

Biblical Context

Those who enter the rest cease from their own works, as God did. We are urged to labor to enter that rest, lest unbelief cause us to fall.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Hebrews 4:10-11 I hear a summons not to perform more tasks but to awaken to a state of conscious rest. The one who has entered Rest lives from the awareness that the I AM has ceased striving, just as God ceased from His works. Rest is not withdrawal but alignment—an inner certainty that imagination governs from a quiet center. When you acknowledge you are the perceiving I AM, you stop plotting with fear and begin moving by faith in what is unseen. The urge to labor is reframed as a discipline of inner revision: labor to settle the mind, to revise thoughts until the desired outcome is already present in your awareness, to trust that your inner vision is law. Unbelief dissolves when attention rests in this present I AM, and rest expands to envelop every moment as your true domain.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are already resting in the I AM; revise a current moment of conflict until it feels settled as part of your inner rest. Carry that stillness into your next decision.
