Patience Possesses Your Soul
Luke 21:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 21:18–19 promises protection through inner steadfastness: no external hazard can touch your essential life, and patience lets you possess your soul.
Neville's Inner Vision
Luke 21:18-19 speaks not of physical arithmetic, but of the inner law: nothing of your essential being can perish when your mind remains fixed in I AM. In the Neville way, the outer threat is only a suggestion of a previous state of consciousness. Your hair may seem to endure or fall in appearances, yet the true protection is your renewed sense of self—awareness as the unchanging witness who can endure any scene. Patience is not passive waiting but the conscious alignment with your divine nature. By imagining yourself already intact, you reverse the clock of fear and let your soul possess itself in the present moment. When you persist in the feeling that you are held safe by the I AM, you stop identifying with the storm and begin to identify with the still, eternal you. The result is not rescue from trouble but the awakening that trouble is only a movement within consciousness, and you remain the I AM, steady and complete.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: 'I am the I AM, protected and complete.' Feel that assurance saturate your breathing and radiate from your center until outer appearances align with your inner peace.
