Inner Vineyard Covenant
Luke 20:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 20:16 presents the owner’s decree to remove the corrupt tenants and grant the vineyard to others, and the crowd responds with a fearful resistance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Luke 20:16 speaks not of literal property but of the state of your own consciousness. The owner is the I AM, the quiet inner watcher who sees that the old tenants—fear, doubt, and worn habit—have kept your truth in quarantine. When the son arrives, the tenants kill him; this is the moment you trust the old scripts more than a higher idea. Yet the owner's decree is not punishment but transformation: the vineyard is given to others, a fresh stewardship, a new interior arrangement. To hear this and cry 'God forbid' is the ego clinging to security; the inner law, however, invites a shift in your inner landscape. The only reality is your consciousness, and the kingdom moves wherever you re-script your imagining and feeling. If you persist in assuming a higher state—as if you already harvest and enjoy the fruit—you dethrone the old beliefs and enthrone a newer self. The parable becomes your inner drama, a vivid rehearsal of your capacity to change what you accept as real.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of immediate ownership: picture a thriving vineyard you have just planted; whisper, 'I own this now,' and let the harvest you imagine feel real to you in this moment.
