Inner Lordship of the I Am
Luke 20:42-44 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David cites Psalm 110 to show a greater authority: the LORD speaks to David's Lord and makes him sit at his right hand, and Luke notes the puzzling claim that this Lord is also David's son.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, the passage reveals a psychological truth rather than a historical puzzle. 'The LORD said unto my Lord' points to a state of consciousness—the I AM—sitting on the throne of your awareness. The 'right hand' is not a place in space but the posture of being in alignment with unmistakable inner power. Enemies to be your footstool = the dream of separation and lack that seem to rule your day; you subdue them by lifting your sense of self into the awareness that you are the Lord in your inner life. The mystery of 'how is he then his son?' becomes a clue that the son is the self you awaken when you recognize that your true authority is immediate and within. Luke invites you to see that the kingdom of God is a present, waking state you enter by an act of imagination: assume sovereignty, feel it, and evidence follows. When you accept this, the inner David becomes your own reflecting self—your Lord recognized by your own mind as the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the I AM now; place yourself on the throne of your inner life, feel sovereign power, and revise a troubling belief by affirming, 'I am the Lord of my inner world,' then dwell in that reality until it feels real.
