Inner Kingdom Speaks Truth
John 18:36-37 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 18 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
