Inner Turn Toward The Lord
Luke 1:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 1:16-17 speaks of a turning back to the Lord and of one who comes in Elijah's spirit to align hearts. It proclaims readiness—consciousness prepared for the Lord.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the words, the turning is not a distant event but a present act of consciousness. Many of the children of Israel turning to the Lord signals that your own inner nation shifts when you acknowledge the I AM as your constant. The 'Elijah spirit' represents the bold, prophetic energy of conviction in you—the power by which you interrupt disobedience and insist on the wisdom of the just. When you imagine yourself obedient to truth, you are already making ready a people prepared for the Lord, for your awareness has prepared the ground for the divine to be seen as your now. In Neville fashion, this is not about facts outside but about states you inhabit: the moment you assume, the inner world rearranges, and outward events reflect that inward alignment. The verse invites you to drop resistance, to align your heart with the good you know and to expect the sacred to awaken in your daily life.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I turn my heart to the Lord now.' Feel the energy of Elijah's spirit awakening in you and imagine your inner landscape aligning with the wisdom of the just.
