Your Inner House Restored
Luke 13:35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that Jerusalem’s outer temple will be left desolate. The blessing comes as the inner Lord is recognized and the coming of God within is affirmed.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, Luke 13:35 speaks of an inner temple, not a political hour. Your house—your sense of self, your beliefs about what can be, your programs of lack—becomes desolate when you no longer identify with separation. Yet desolation is not punishment; it is a fulfilled space prepared for the indwelling Presence. The 'Lord that cometh in the name of the Lord' is not a visitor arriving at a gate but the I AM appearing within awareness. When you declare, 'Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord,' you shift from waiting for an external sign to acknowledging the internal visitation. The coming Lord is the constant activity of consciousness that creates, sustains, and fills every form with life. So, as you inhabit the truth that you are one with the I AM, the old walls dissolve and you recognize that the Kingdom is not future but now. Desolation yields to the realization that the divine presence is within and announced through your own awakened awareness. Your inner temple is restored as you persist in that assured unity.
Practice This Now
Assume now the reality of the I AM as your present experience: say silently, 'I am the I AM; my inner house is the temple of God.' Then dwell in that feeling for five minutes, letting the sense of desolation melt as you know the Lord has come within.
