Incense of Inner Prayer
Luke 1:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes the crowd praying outside during the incense ritual.
Neville's Inner Vision
Inside your mind, the multitude outside represents the countless thoughts that drift in consciousness while the inner altar—incense rising—summons the I AM. The presence invoked by prayer is not a distant ritual; it is the awareness that you are, right now, the author of your experience. When you acknowledge the I AM as the source, the outer crowd's petitions become a reflective motion of your inner state. The holiness reflected in Luke's scene is not in the external act, but in the steadfast feeling that the inner offering has already been made and approved by consciousness. The presence of God is the I AM, active in every moment, aligning outer events with inner certainty. Persist in that inner recognition and the world around you will begin to harmonize with the cadence of your inner affirmation.
Practice This Now
Enter the inner sanctuary in imagination, feel the incense rising as your I AM presence. Silently declare, 'I am the I AM; this fulfillment is now.'
