Inner Spirit of Truth

John 16:7-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 16 in context

Scripture Focus

7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:7-15

Biblical Context

Jesus says the Comforter will come after He departs to guide you into all truth, and to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Spirit’s coming marks an inner shift from old beliefs to inner awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the Comforter is the Spirit of Truth—your I AM awakening to itself. When Jesus says he must depart, he is describing a shift from the old self to a higher consciousness that can hear truth from within. The 'world' is your narrated set of beliefs about sin, righteousness, and judgment; the Spirit comes to reprove those beliefs, not you, but your old identification, so you may awaken. As you listen, you are guided into all truth; the Spirit does not speak for itself but speaks what it hears in the inner chamber of your awareness, revealing what is to come. Sin is belief in separation from God; righteousness is the realization that you and the Father are one; judgment is the ending of the old self where the 'prince of this world' is no longer lord. The Spirit will glorify the Son by showing you what already belongs to you, and it will show you your future possibilities in present seeing. Your task is to assume the state of that Spirit here and now, and let the inner voice lead.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume the state: 'I am guided by the Spirit of Truth within me.' Then revise a current doubt by affirming: 'The inner Comforter has already shown me the truth I need to act on today.'
