The Inner Abiding Presence
John 14:22-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Judas asks how Jesus will manifest to them, not to the world. Jesus says that love for him, and keeping his words, draws the Father to dwell with the believer.
Neville's Inner Vision
Judas asks how Jesus will manifest to them and not to the world. Jesus answers by shifting the focus from outward display to inward state: to love me is to keep my words, and then the Father will love you, and we will come and make our abode with you. In Neville terms, this is not geography but a state of consciousness. The I AM within you, when you align with love by living the words, becomes the door through which the Father and Son dwell. The world fades to background as inner fidelity becomes the throne on which God sits. Abiding means you treat every moment as if the divine presence is already resident in you, and your choices reflect that reality. The coming and dwelling are thus now: a felt presence within, a quiet assurance that your inner life is the temple. When you persist in this inner alignment, manifestation follows—events harmonize with the inner atmosphere you have chosen. You are invited to wear the inward house as your identity, and all outward light will arise from that abiding presence.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and consciously assume the state I and the Father dwell within me now. Then revise your daily attitude to act as if that truth is already true, feeling the dwelling with every breath.
