Inner Writings, Outer Words
John 5:47 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John 5:47 contrasts belief in the writings with belief in Jesus’ words. It suggests that inner conviction must precede outer acceptance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the verse is not about scriptures on parchment but about two levels of your own consciousness. The 'writings' are the inner laws you accept as true—your persistently held beliefs about what is possible. 'My words' are the outward speech and events that arise from that living belief. If you deny the writings, you deny the ground on which the words stand, and the words will not take root in your experience. Thus the verse invites you to see that true faith is not a battle between texts but a surrender of the inner agreement to a higher truth. When you dwell in the I AM—awareness that you are the one making and mirroring—your inner narrative changes, and the outer texts rearrange accordingly. The writings become your personal scripture of possibility; your words become the echo of that certainty. Do not seek permission from without; close your eyes, affirm the inner script as already true, and let your imagined feeling of reality redraw your world.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the inner writings are true now. Feel the trust become real as your outer words harmonize with that inner conviction.
