Neville Goddard on John 14:30-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 14 in context

Scripture Focus

30Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

31But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

John 14:30-31

Biblical Context

Jesus says the prince of this world has no claim on him. He demonstrates love for the Father by obeying the command and moving forward.

Neville's Inner Vision

In truth, the 'world' spoken of is a state of consciousness resisting the I AM. The prince of this world is the belief in separation; yet this verse declares that the claim has no hold on the Christ in you. When I read 'that the world may know I love the Father,' I hear the inner agent acting to reveal alignment, not as proof to others but as confirmation to your own consciousness that you answer the Father’s command. The 'Arise, let us go hence' is a psychological shift: rise into a higher state of awareness and walk forward in the present moment. The world will project tests to disturb your faith, but if you remain in the Father’s will, the ego’s claims vanish and you flow in obedience. Practice: assume you are already in the I AM, that the world has no power over your inner decisions, and act from love and obedience; the outward scene merely confirms your internal alignment.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the sentence: 'I am in the Father; the world has no hold on my inner life.' Feel it real by breathing into the I AM and acting as if you already walk in obedience, then proceed with the next right action.
