Inner Persistence of Prayer

Luke 18:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 18 in context

Scripture Focus

4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
Luke 18:4-5

Biblical Context

The judge delays justice for a time. The widow's persistence compels him to act.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this parable, the judge is not a man of merit but a function in your consciousness, a present-tense regulator of timing. The widow embodies an unwavering assumption that justice is hers, pressed daily, not by fear of others but by the pressure of inner conviction. Neville would say: you do not bend an external court; you shift the state of consciousness that creates it. The widow’s continual coming corresponds to the habit of returning your attention to a single, definite end until the feeling of having already received it saturates your atmosphere. Fear, pride, and delay are only mental idols that fall when the I AM—your essential awareness—anoints a single truth and refuses to let it go. If, in your inner court, you rest in the knowing that the thing is done, the outer scene must answer in harmony with that inner point of view. The force that makes the morning rise is the same force that brings your desire forth: a steady, personal yes to the fulfillment in present tense. Do not chase outcomes outside; revise your inner signal until it coincides with the end you desire, and the rest follows.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, assume the end in present tense and feel it real; for one minute daily, repeat 'I am [the outcome] now' until the sense of completion saturates your being.
