When Servant Meets Lord Within
John 15:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus teaches that the servant is not greater than the master; if they persecuted him, they will persecute you, and if they keep his words, they will keep yours.
Neville's Inner Vision
Remember this truth in the theater of your mind: the servant is not greater than the Lord. Persecution here is not an attack on you, but a testing of your alignment with the I AM within. If they persecuted Jesus, they will also persecute your outward voice when you stand as truth’s envoy in your own world. In your inner state, the 'they' are doubts, old habits, fear—all trying to shake your fidelity. When you assume you are already living as the Lord inside, the outer pressure becomes a signal of your inner alignment, not a proof of lack. Your spoken words carry the weight of an inner decree; your revision of self, done with feeling, rewrites the map. So practice a moment-by-moment assumption: I am one with the Lord of my being, and persecution—if it comes— is simply the test that I am true to that identity. Trust the process; what you revise inwardly fashions your outward world, and others either keep pace with your faith or reveal it to be in need of refinement.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am one with the Lord within,' then feel that unity until it colors your next speech or decision. In that feeling-it-real, let opposition become confirmation that you are practicing the truth you envision.
