Inner Widow's Persistent Petition
Luke 18:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 18:3-5 tells of a widow who pleads with a judge for justice. Although the judge delays, her persistent petitions force him to act.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the widow as a state of consciousness that desires right order in your life. The city and the judge are the outer mechanisms of your world—the mind that hesitates to act on your demand. The line 'though I fear not God, nor regard man' reveals the inner judge's self-absorption; it is not a denial of truth but an admission of how the outer self reasons. Yet the widow's continual coming stirs the inner law until it answers: vengeance, or rebalancing, is simply the correction of appearances to align with your inner decree. In Neville terms, you do not persuade a person outside you; you awaken your own 'I AM' to report to you that justice is done. Your assumption must be firm, not merely polite. When you feel the urge to repeat your petition, you are rehearsing the return of your own inner order. I AM the judge within who decides when the decree is true. The scene is your inner cinema; you are the director and the actor. By repeating the feeling of already having received, you compel the inner law to close the gap between wish and embodiment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the wish fulfilled and feel it real. Repeat a present-tense declaration like 'I AM justice now fulfilled' until the sensation sits in your bones.
