Inner Vineyard Covenant

Luke 20:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 20 in context

Scripture Focus

16He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
Luke 20:16

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.
