Neville Goddard on Luke 11:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

Luke 11:1-2

Biblical Context

Jesus provides a model for prayer, and the disciple asks how to pray. The core message centers on honoring God as Father and inviting the kingdom to govern daily life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 11:1-2 invites us to read prayer not as a plea to a distant God, but as a reorientation of consciousness. When Jesus says 'Our Father in heaven,' he directs your attention to the I AM within—awareness that never left you, only asks you to recognize it. 'Hallowed be thy name' becomes the devotional posture of honoring that inner reality, not a ritual command. 'Thy kingdom come' declares that the kingdom is already present in consciousness; it is a state you enter by consent, not a place you reach by effort. 'Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth' is the call to align your personal desire with the divine order, so that what is true in heaven flows into your daily experience. Practically, you imagine yourself already living in that harmony—seeing, feeling, and acting as if heaven’s arrangement governs your days. This is not supplication but revision: you revise your identity until the world you see matches your felt awareness of God within.
