Inner Hearing, John Is Born
Luke 1:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The angel tells Zacharias not to fear as his prayer is heard. Elisabeth will bear a son and they shall name him John.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the scene as a turning of your own consciousness rather than a history. You are Zacharias in the sense that fear represents a limited self that doubts the ever-present I AM. The command fear not is the spiritual discipline to hold attention on the truth that the I AM is aware of your petition. The declaration thy prayer is heard becomes a law of your inner life: your request has already reached your divine center and is now moving toward expression as form. Elisabeth represents the receptive state in you that births form when joined with faith; her coming forth signals a new quality arising. To call his name John is to announce a new inner power called grace. This name is the word that marks the birth of a benevolent trait in your life. Thus you follow the guidance of Providence by practicing unwavering trust, revision of fear into faith, and the feeling that what you desire is already real within you.
Practice This Now
Practice: In a quiet moment, assume the wish is already granted; feel the I AM acknowledge you and hear your prayer. Visualize John as an inner birth of grace and rest in gratitude now.
