Inner Naming of the Twelve
Luke 6:14-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 6:14–16 lists the apostles by name, signaling inner states of consciousness that the I AM invites you to awaken and unite.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the Neville reader, this list is not merely a roster of men but a registry of the soul’s faculties pressed into service by the I AM. Simon Peter becomes the state of steadfast faith; Andrew, the spirit of companionship; James and John, the cooperative power of action in harmony with a shared purpose. Philip and Bartholomew point to the disciplined inquiry that yields certainty; Matthew and Thomas reveal the mind that must see clearly, willing to revise until truth is established. James, son of Alphaeus, embodies quiet loyalty; Simon called Zelotes is zeal refined into holy fidelity; Judas brother of James points to the loyal heart when joined to the group; Judas Iscariot, the traitor, discloses the hidden fear of loss and the temptation to betray unity. The twelve together are a council your I AM forms within you; you are called to acknowledge these states and let them act in concert. When you believe you are named, your inner voice aligns with a single purpose: to move through life from love, truth, and unity.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM has named you Peter, the rock of faith; feel that quality settling into your chest as a real fact. Then invite the other eleven states to stand with you, allowing their unity to saturate your mind.
