Inner Wealth, Outer Decay

James 5:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read James 5 in context

Scripture Focus

2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
James 5:2-3

Biblical Context

James 5:2-3 warns that riches corrupt and garments are moth-eaten, with gold and silver rusting as witnesses against those who hoard for the last days. It points to the vanity of external treasure and invites you to awaken to a living inner provision.

Neville's Inner Vision

From a Neville Goddard vantage, the passage is not about coins, but about states of consciousness. Your riches are not out there but in you; the moth-eaten garments and rusting metal are symbols of a mind clinging to security through possession. When you identify with the I AM that never wanes, the 'last days' fade because the consciousness that fears scarcity has dissolved. The rust and canker sign the decay of a belief that life is a external transaction; reality itself is the living imagination you call forth. Therefore, the true wealth is inner provision, a sense of sufficiency that remains untouched by time or decay. Practice seeing yourself as the source of all supply, and letting your daily experiences reflect that inner state: opportunities, helpful people, unexpected ease. In that light, the verse becomes a guiding reminder to revise lack into abundance by dwelling in the I AM and feeling it real, not by guarding gold but by knowing you already possess everything within your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and assume the consciousness 'I AM wealth now.' Feel abundant life flowing through you as you revise your sense of lack into sufficiency.
