Neville Goddard on Luke 7:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 7 in context

Scripture Focus

8For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Luke 7:8

Biblical Context

Luke 7:8 shows a man under authority whose commands are obeyed because he recognizes a higher power guiding action. The plain message is that real power flows from alignment with an inner order you acknowledge as your own.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 7:8 speaks of a man who knows his place under authority; he commands with certainty because he has felt the governing power above him. In the inner reading, the outer soldiers and servant are symbolic of your conditions and habits, which move only when you acknowledge the one true ruler within—your I AM awareness. The Christ inside is the sovereign will that speaks and compels the world to respond. When you recognize that authority as your own, commands issued in imagination pass into becoming; your assent becomes the invisible law by which events bend. Humility here is not weakness but clear sight: you are not the author of power, you are the channel through which power moves. Trust grows when you stop bargaining with lack and begin treating your desired state as already established by the higher order you serve. The moment of faith is a recognition that the apparent separation between you and your goal is an illusion dissolved by inner alignment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I am the I AM, the authority in this situation; command this reality to come forth. See the outcome clearly in your mind and feel it as real, letting your inner order govern what you experience.
