Neville Goddard on James 5:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read James 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

James 5:7

Biblical Context

James 5:7 speaks of patient waiting for the Lord’s coming, like a farmer awaiting harvest. It calls for steadfast hope and trust in divine timing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Patience in James is not resignation but the I AM attending to a soil within you that must ripen in consciousness. The husbandman represents your inner states—belief, desire, and action—cultivating the fruit you envision while awaiting the rains of inspiration. The early rain quickens thought; the latter rain completes realization. When you dwell in the assumption that you already possess your desire, you are watering that soil with attention and feeling, and time becomes the process by which your inner harvest matures. The “coming of the Lord” is the moment your awareness awakens to its own majesty—your senses shift from lack to presence, and the world renders itself as seed, soil, and harvest responding to your inner state. Sit with this truth: you are the doer of the work by choosing an unshakable mood of fulfilled possibility; patience is your practice of remaining in I AM while the unseen ripens.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume you are already living your desired state for several minutes; revise any sense of lack into abundance and feel the rain nourishing your inner fields.
