Neville Goddard on Luke 19:12-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 19 in context

Scripture Focus

12He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

14But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

Luke 19:12-15

Biblical Context

A nobleman goes away to receive a kingdom and returns to reckon the value of each servant's work. The citizens oppose his reign.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the nobleman as the I AM within you. He goes to a far country to receive a kingdom and to return, and in that journey your faculties—will, imagination, memory, and body—are entrusted with energy (the pounds) to be employed in creation. Occupy till I come means you must employ these energies to build an inner realm of order while you are in the ordinary state. The citizens who hate him are the doubts and fears resisting sovereignty over your life. When the king returns, he calls you to account for what you have gained by trading: the visible results reflect your inner assumption. Therefore the task is simple: dwell in the consciousness of reigning, assume fullness, and permit your faculties to express their best outcomes. The time of judgment is now, for as soon as you believe, the kingdom is established within you and your outward life becomes its confirmation.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine standing in the throne room of your mind, declaring that you reign here and now. Then revise any doubt by feeling that your imagined reign has already altered yesterday's reality and carries forward into today.
