Inner Lift Through Humility
James 4:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read James 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
James 4:10 invites a voluntary inward posture of humility before God, promising that true elevation comes from the inner awareness of the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
James 4:10 invites you to turn from craving recognition to a humble inward posture. In Neville's language the sight of the Lord is your state of consciousness—the I AM you awaken to as the only reality. Humility is not groveling; it is aligning your awareness with the Presence within. When you consistently assume I AM as the sole truth, and release the urge to exalt the self, you invite the inner lift. The 'lift' does not move God; it moves your sense of self into harmony with God’s life. The humble state acts as a key; it unlocks grace, guidance, and a rising sense of being. As you practice, you notice outer conditions begin to reflect a quieter, steadier self-rule, because your inner weather has shifted. Trust that the ascent is already present in your awareness, and, feeling the truth, you allow it to be felt in experience. The moment you inhabit the 'I AM' without domination, you are lifted.
Practice This Now
Sit in stillness and repeat the inner formula. 'I humble myself before the Lord in my inner awareness; I am lifted by the I AM within me,' and feel it as a rising warmth.
