Neville Goddard on Mark 13:11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 13 in context

Scripture Focus

11But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

Mark 13:11

Biblical Context

In Mark 13:11, you are told not to premeditate when dragged into trial; the words you speak come from the Holy Spirit present within you in the moment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner eye, Mark 13:11 reveals consciousness under pressure, where the urge to preplan dissolves and the I AM speaks through you. The promise is not merely external guidance but the alignment of your state with God, so that in the hour of contact the Spirit expresses the living idea through your words. You are not a separate speaker; you are the conduit through which the Holy Ghost conveys divine wisdom. Therefore, treat attention as the womb of spoken truth: in doubt, breathe and affirm 'I am speaking now as the Spirit'; in certainty, let that confidence radiate as quiet assurance rather than ego display. To practice, return to the present, assume you have already spoken by divine wisdom, and feel the words rise from within as coming from the I AM itself. When trial comes, the counsel that appears is your own consciousness acting as a conduit for the Spirit.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already the I AM, and imagine a warm inner voice guiding your words in the moment. Speak with calm conviction, knowing the source is the Spirit within.
