The Inner Kingship Within
Luke 19:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse portrays a ruler who punishes those who refuse his reign; in plain terms, it signals the collapse of opposition to a sovereign inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard's style, your 'enemies' are the parts of your mind that resist the reign of your I AM. The king's demand to slain them is a metaphor for dissolving these inner resistances until your consciousness accepts a new sovereignty. To 'reign over them' means to enthrone a state of awareness where fear, doubt, habit, and lack bow to a single reality—I AM. The words are not a call to violence from outside, but a summons to wake to your true power: the moment you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you act to dissolve the old self by not feeding it with attention. As you dwell in the awareness of the I AM, the old beliefs lose their hold and events align with your new state. The kingdom you seek is within; the outer world becomes a faithful expression of your inner sovereign memory.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and imagine a throne within your chest. Declare, 'I reign over all within me,' and visualize your fears and doubts being led to the throne and dissolved as you feel the I AM reigning now.
