Neville Goddard on Luke 1:41-44 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 1 in context

Scripture Focus

41And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

42And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

Luke 1:41-44

Biblical Context

Elizabeth hears Mary's greeting; the baby leaps in her womb, and she is filled with the Holy Ghost, declaring blessings and recognizing the divine visitation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Luke 1:41-44 as the inner drama of your own consciousness. Mary's salutation is the first inner word that awakens a new state. Elisabeth’s womb moving with joy mirrors the inner idea taking form the moment awareness touches it. The Holy Ghost is the illumination of your I AM, confirming that the presence of God is here now. When the greeting lands in your mind, the 'babe' leaps, a vivid sign that your risen thought is alive and real. This is not history but your own state waking to itself. The blessing Elizabeth pronounces becomes your inner verdict: you are blessed, your prolific thought is holy, and its fruit is ready to enter your life. Stay with the felt sense of that greeting until it settles as fact in your heart. Then you will find joy, praise, and a growing sense of separation from mere circumstances as you recognize the Immanuel within—the living presence of God right where you are.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and replay the greeting in your mind; assume the feeling of the womb-leap as your own inner joy. Stay with that felt reality for a few minutes, and let the awareness of Immanuel within you turn belief into experience.
