Inner Reversals of Divine Grace

Luke 1:51-53 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 1 in context

Scripture Focus

51He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Luke 1:51-53

Biblical Context

Luke 1:51-53 describes a divine reversal of status: the proud scattered, the mighty brought low, the hungry fed, and the rich sent away; these changes arise from an inner shift, not merely external events.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, Luke 1:51-53 reveals how consciousness reverses conditions when it awakens to its own power. The 'arm' that shows strength is not a weapon but the will-to-be-present—the awareness that declares, I am, and thus cannot be defined by others. When the heart imagines itself exalted, the proud imaginations in the mind lose their grip; you scatter the imagined status that weights you to a position. The mighty are set aside not by punishment but by an inner alignment that makes external power unnecessary. The lowly are exalted as the sense of self shifts from lack to sufficiency. The hungry, symbolizing need, are fed by imagining abundance; the rich, trusting in outward wealth, are emptied of attachment to appearances. This is an inner economy: reversals occur as you state I am and live from that truth. Practice: in quiet, assume the feeling of being fully provisioned and esteemed, and let the old images fall away.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, recount Luke 1:51-53, and, with eyes closed, assume the feeling that you are exalted in spirit, supplied, and at peace. Repeat until the sense of the prior lack dissolves.
