Neville Goddard on John 2:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 2 in context

Scripture Focus

8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

John 2:8-10

Biblical Context

John 2:8-10 shows servants drawing water that becomes wine and the ruler recognizing the good that has arrived. It signals that outward events mirror a shifting inner state of consciousness and Providence.

Neville's Inner Vision

I call the water of common circumstances by its true name: possibility. In the stillness of my I AM, that water is pressed by imagination until it becomes wine—the fulfilled state I accept and celebrate. The miracle in John 2 is not an event 'out there' but a shift in inner state: once I claim the source as Present, the external scene must bow to the inner harvest. The servants, who drew the water, know whence the wine came; so do I know that every demand I meet in prayer is a measurement of my own consciousness. The governor’s compliment—that the good wine has been kept until now—signals the law that under grace, the best of me is reserved until I am truly aware of it. I need not chase results; I rest in the assurance that my consciousness, not time, fabricates form.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In the next few minutes, close your eyes and assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled; declare softly, 'I AM the source of all provision.' Then visualize drawing the wine from your inner reservoir and pouring it into the governor's cup, knowing the outer scene answers to your inner state.
