Voice in the Wilderness Within
John 1:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John 1:23 presents a prophetic declaration: a voice crying in the wilderness announces the straight path for the Lord. It speaks of prophecy fulfilled and a mission to witness the presence of God.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's light, the 'voice' is your I AM awakening within a desert of belief. The wilderness is a mental state where lack or fear seems to rule; to declare oneself the voice is to assume authority over inner weather. 'Make straight the way' becomes the practice of revision: remove any sense that the Lord is distant and align your imagination with the truth that the Kingdom of God is present now. Esaias’ prophecy is not dead history but a living script that unfolds as you shift your attention from external appearances to the inner state that births them. By assuming the role of announcer, you witness the fulfillment of promises in your own awareness: the presence of God becomes tangible as you persist in the assumption of wholeness, clarity, and right ordering of your inner road. This is true witnessing: the inner kingdom arriving through disciplined imagination and unwavering faith in what you accept as real.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness; I clear the way for the Lord within.' Feel the inner road straighten as light reveals your present awareness.
