Inner Honor John 5:44 Reimagined
John 5:44 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse questions how belief can arise while valuing human praise; it points to an inward priority of divine recognition over social approval.
Neville's Inner Vision
Belief is not a transfer of accolades from without, but a state of consciousness you impress upon your world. When you crave the honor of people, you are teaching yourself that your worth comes from others, not from the I AM within. Yet the I AM in you is the divine accountant, forever honoring you, and to believe is to align with that inner decree. You do not need social acclaim to prove you are loved; you need only to awaken and feel the divine approval already resident in your awareness. Imagination is your instrument: assume the position of one who is already honored by God, and let that feeling saturate your mind until it becomes your lived reality. When this inward posture holds, the external scenes will adjust to reflect it, and faith grows as trust in the unseen.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are already honored by God; feel the I AM blessing within now and let that revise your self-concept. Carry this feeling into your day, letting external praise fall into place as a reflection of that inner state.
