Awakening Lazarus Within

John 11:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 11 in context

Scripture Focus

12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
John 11:12-14

Biblical Context

The disciples interpret Jesus' words about sleep as literal rest; Jesus clarifies that Lazarus has died.

Neville's Inner Vision

The disciples gate-crash the surface meaning as if death were final, yet Jesus speaks from the level of consciousness. In Neville's voice, Lazarus is a state within you—a living idea, a possibility you once believed was buried. Death, in this light, is not a person laid in a tomb but a belief that a life or quality has ended. The I AM—your essential awareness—does not lament or wait; it awakens what you have not fully allowed into present life. When you hear that Lazarus is dead, recognize that you have misread your own inner events as permanent endings. This is not despair but a call to revise the moment: to affirm that life remains, even when appearances suggest otherwise. By aligning with the inner I AM, you restore vitality to the sleeping possibility. The resurrection becomes your present experience: a shift in consciousness that breathes life into the dormant idea, turning fear into faith and expectancy into a living reality. Resurrection, in this view, is you waking to who you are, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am awake to the life of Lazarus within me now.' Then imagine a tomb within your chest opening and light or a gentle life force flowing through you, as if your inner I AM is reviving a long-forgotten possibility.
