Kingdom Within, Not Outward

Luke 19:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 19 in context

Scripture Focus

11And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Luke 19:11

Biblical Context

Jesus notes that the crowd expects the kingdom to appear at once. He speaks a parable to redirect focus to an inner realization, not an external sign.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the crowd, hearing of a coming reign, and thinking of triumphs and visible power. Jesus, near Jerusalem, tells a parable to shift their awareness from outward appearances to the inner state that makes the kingdom real. In Neville's keys, the kingdom of God is not a future conquest but a footprint of God within your own consciousness—the I AM that you are. The people anticipate the sudden external event; yet the parable teaches that the kingdom arises when the mind accepts a continuous, inner sovereign presence. Your life is not a bystander in a drama of epochs, but the actual moment of the I AM declaring, 'Let there be light' in your awareness. When you insist that God’s rule is somewhere outside, you delay it; when you revise that belief and dwell in the feeling of already possessing, the outer scenes rearrange to reflect that inner condition. The parable invites you to claim the kingdom as a present, inner state by Imagination, from which action flows as fruit, not cause.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the state, softly declaring 'I AM the Kingdom of God within me now,' and feel the peace and authority saturate your being. Then, act as if that inner state already governs your day; observe one small situation and revise it mentally to align with that reality.
