Neville Goddard on Luke 4:20-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 4 in context

Scripture Focus

20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

22And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Nazareth is the synagogue of your mind. When you hear 'This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears,' you are invited to realize that scripture is not something out there but a living fact within the I AM you are aware of. The crowd’s eyes and their marvel at the gracious words symbolize your own inner reactions—the openness to truth, the resistance of old identities, and the tendency to measure self by a past you call familiar. The assertion 'this day' is fulfilled now points to your present consciousness as the home of prophecy realized. Grace and presence are not distant favors but the atmosphere of your mind when you stop chasing becoming and begin recognizing you already are the living verse. The Joseph’s son belief you cling to is a habit of identification that dissolves when consciousness awakens to the word that speaks through you. As you align with that living word, the outer signs fall into place, and the inner audience bears witness to a new grace entering your life.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, and declare, 'This day is fulfilled in my ears now.' Feel the gracious energy as real in your chest and crown. Then revise any old belief about lack by affirming you are the embodiment of the living scripture.
