Neville Goddard on Luke 6:20-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 6 in context

Scripture Focus

20And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

22Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

23Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

Luke 6:20-23

Biblical Context

Luke 6:20-23 presents blessings not for outward fortune but for a changed inner state. The kingdom of God is described as already present within, accessible through consciousness rather than circumstance.

Neville's Inner Vision

True blessedness comes not from changing weather but from changing the weather within. Poor is not economic status but the moment your attention is withdrawn from the world of lack and fixed on I AM, the kingdom of God becomes your immediate state. Hunger and weeping are inner signals to feed on truth; by imagining the fulfilled state you are filled, and by affirming the inner joy you leap beyond sorrow. When others hate you or cast your name out, you are being invited to prove that your reality rests in the Son of Man within, not in public opinion. Rejoice now and leap for joy, for your reward is the steady consciousness of God’s presence; in the like manner the prophets endured for this discovery. Your spiritual arrival is not a future event but a present alignment of imagination with God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already the blessed state; say 'I am the kingdom of God within me' until a warm certainty fills your chest and radiates outward. If lack resurfaces, revise your identity to 'There is no separation; I am always one with God.'
