Mustard Seed Faith Within

Luke 17:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 17 in context

Scripture Focus

6And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luke 17:6

Biblical Context

Luke 17:6 teaches that even faith as small as a mustard seed can command outer conditions when invoked with authority. The verse shows that inner belief aligns with action, moving what seems fixed.

Neville's Inner Vision

All true faith is not measured by the size of an outer sign, but by the constancy of your inner state. The mustard seed is a symbol for a cleared, persistent I AM awareness. When you assume that your present state is already changed, you address the sycamine tree in your mind—the stubborn condition you've believed about yourself or your world. To speak 'Be uprooted' is to revise the root of that belief, to plant a new sense in the vast sea of consciousness where all forms take their cue from your inner decree. The bark, the leaves, the 'obeying' is merely the order your consciousness gives. If you dwell in the feeling that 'I am free' or 'I am whole,' the tree moves as if by magic because you have become the state that makes it so. This is deliverance by consciousness, not by force upon another. Your presence, your I AM, is the power that awakens the world to your inner reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a moment of stillness, assume the state 'I AM' and feel you are already free. Mentally plant a mustard seed in your chest and declare the tree of limitation uprooted, planted in the sea, and feel it done.
