Neville Goddard on Luke 18:28-30 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 18 in context

Scripture Focus

28Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

29And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

30Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

Luke 18:28-30

Biblical Context

Peter claims they left everything to follow Jesus; Jesus responds that those who abandon houses, family, or possessions for the kingdom of God will receive manifold blessings in the present and life everlasting in the world to come.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 18:28-30 invites the inner reader to reinterpret sacrifice as a shift of consciousness. When Peter speaks of leaving all, the listener is asked to notice that the true leaving occurs in the mind, freeing it from the sense of lack. The kingdom of God is the I AM, the domain of immediate awareness; as you align with this inner sovereignty, every ‘loss’ is reversed into abundance. The promise of manifold more in this present time and life everlasting is not a future payout but a transformation of your inner state—abundance, harmony, and vitality becoming your experienced world. If you dwell in the conviction 'I am the I AM,' you stop chasing external conditions and allow the higher order of life to reorganize your circumstances. In this light, the verse becomes a call to revision: renew belief, feel its truth, and watch the present moment bloom with signs of the eternal life already within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene: you have already left all as you truly desire; feel the I AM sustaining you; repeat 'I am the kingdom now' until the sensation of abundance becomes steady.
