Invitation Into the Inner House
Luke 14:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The master commands the servant to invite guests from everywhere so that the lord's house may be filled. The emphasis is on active invitation, widening the circle of inclusion.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine Luke 14:23 as an instruction to your I AM. The lord is your higher self, and the servant is your attention that goes forth to fetch every part of you that has wandered. When told to go into the highways and hedges, you are being asked to traverse the outer edges of your consciousness—the forgotten dreams, the fears, the stubborn beliefs you keep on the margins. To compel them to come in is to take steady, benevolent control of your state, guiding each dispersed feeling back to the center where you know you are whole. The house is your inner kingdom; when it is filled, you have tasted salvation: God, the Kingdom, is within. The practical work is a present-tense assumption: I AM the host of my own banquet; I choose fullness now; lack dissolves as I dwell in the awareness that all guests are already mine, returning to the center of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, I AM the host of my own banquet. Imagine inviting every part of your mind—every thought, belief, fear—into your inner house and feel the fullness as though it already is.
