Resting In God's Rest
Hebrews 4:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares a remaining rest for the people of God. Rest is an inward, present state available to the believer.
Neville's Inner Vision
Hebrews 4:9 speaks of a rest that remains for the people of God. Yet this rest is not a distant location; it is an inward condition of awareness you can inhabit now. The 'people of God' are not a distant group but the state of consciousness you identify with as I AM. When you center in that awareness, the restless mind stops its ceaseless movement and, for a moment, you enter stillness. The rest is the recognition that the underlying reality is constant; appearances may push and pull, but your true self remains untouched. Therefore, claim the rest by turning from mental narratives of lack or fear and aligning with the unchanging presence that you are. This is not withdrawal from life but a deep engagement with the inner kingdom where imagination speaks as law. Your imaginative activity becomes the doorway: you imagine from the end, see harmony in your world, and trust that the rest you seek is already established in the I AM that you are. In such recognition, the outer becomes a reflection of an inner peace.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume you are already at rest in God; feel the stillness settling in your chest and declare, 'I rest in the I AM now.'
