The Inner Shepherd Voice
John 10:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Those who belong to the Shepherd hear his voice. He knows them, and they choose to follow him.
Neville's Inner Vision
John 10:27 speaks to your inner state. The 'sheep' are not literal animals but your possibilities of consciousness, ready to hear the inward whisper and respond. Hearing the voice means you remain attentive to the I AM that animates you; it is not an external command but the steady recognition of truth within. When you say, 'I know them,' you are affirming that your inner self recognizes the state you have chosen—alignment, faith, and obedience to truth. The follower is simply the natural movement of consciousness that has learned to trust the inner direction rather than outer appearances. To hear and follow is to prefer the felt sense of reality over fear or doubt, to dwell in the awareness that you are already in harmony with your Shepherd within. Practice this today by turning attention away from lack and toward the inner impression that invites action. Do not debate it; imagine you are already in alignment with the inner voice, and let that certainty lead your next step.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and declare, 'I hear the voice of my Shepherd within.' Feel the inner certainty as real, and revise every doubt into action-ready faith.
