Inner Kingdom Speaks Truth

John 18:36-37 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 18 in context

Scripture Focus

36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
John 18:36-37

Biblical Context

Jesus states that his kingdom is not of this world and that his authority comes from bearing witness to the truth; those who belong to the truth hear his voice.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the world Jesus names as 'not of this world' is a state of consciousness, not a place. The kingly authority that Jesus bears is the authority of awareness, the I AM that never falters when it receives its own name. If you would hear his voice, you must retire from the old image of power and align with the inner decree: I am the observer, I am the truth, I am the kingdom that cannot fade with circumstance. The words 'not from hence' invite you to revise your sense of where you live; you live within, in the realm where belief becomes fact through the act of assumption. The fight would arise if you mistakenly seek outward control; but the real witness acts inwardly, bearing truth, and the outer world follows the inner posture. Pilate asks if you are king; your reply is silent alignment with truth and the declaration that the kingdom is a consciousness-realm, felt before it appears in form. Practice listening to the inner voice, and allow your life to conform to the truth you have assumed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are already in the inner kingdom and feel the I AM here now; silently hear the truth speaking within and let your outer life follow that inner decree.
