Neville Goddard on Luke 4:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 4 in context

Scripture Focus

10For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

11And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Luke 4:10-11

Biblical Context

Luke 4:10-11 promises that guardians will keep you and bear you up, so you won’t stumble. The plain meaning is that protection comes as an inner reality, aligned with your awareness and trust.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 4:10-11 speaks of angels charged over thee, bearing thee up to keep thee from stumbling. In Neville’s psychology, these angels are your inner states—faith, attention, and the awareness that you are the I AM. The protection is not a separate troop of beings; it is your own consciousness held steady in present sense. When fear gnaws or external peril seems near, you simply revise your assumption: I am held in the care of the Lord within; my I AM is the guard and the way. By feeling-it-real that this inner watchfulness surrounds, upholds, and bears me aloft, you dislodge the sense of separation and let the scene reflect your inner alignment. The “stones” become harmless shadows, proof that you dwell in a discipline of consciousness that does not slip. This is the meaning: your life is kept by your own inward truth, the steadfast relation between you and the One I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, close your eyes and affirm, 'I am held in the care of the I AM within me.' Visualize a circle of luminous guardians surrounding you, lifting any perceived risk and feel the truth of that protection as real now.
