Inner Peace Left With You
John 14:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John 14:27 speaks of a divine peace Jesus leaves with his followers. It contrasts worldly peace with a lasting inner state that invites trust, calm, and courage.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take this verse as a doorway into your own consciousness. The peace Jesus leaves is not a gift from a distant source but a state you awaken within the I AM. Worldly peace appears when circumstances align; this peace, however, is steadiness of being, a quietness of awareness that remains when appearances waver. When you feel troubled or afraid, you have not lost peace but forgotten its presence within you. Reclaim it by assuming the feeling of being at peace here and now, in the heart of your own consciousness. In Neville's terms, you are not seeking peace outside; you are becoming peace in the present moment through the art of revision and steady attention to your inner state. Sit in stillness, close your eyes if you wish, and declare, 'I am peace.' Let the sense of separation dissolve as you dwell on the I AM that is always the same yesterday, today, and forever. As you hold this state, your outer world will reflect a calmer atmosphere and your faith and trust will deepen, guiding you toward a hopeful future.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: For the next five minutes, assume the feeling of peace is already present and dwell in the I AM; repeat 'I am peace' until it resonates as actuality, then observe how fear loosens its grip.
