Inner Conception in Matthew 1:20

Matthew 1:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 1 in context

Scripture Focus

20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 1:20

Biblical Context

Joseph contemplates these things; the Lord's angel appears in a dream and commands him to marry Mary, for the conceived child is by the Holy Spirit.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joseph, in the dream, stands for your attentive I AM, weighing the thoughts of a life being born. The angel is the whisper of your higher awareness, the voice that interrupts fear and says, fear not to take Mary as thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. In Neville's reading, the concrete world does not birth the seed; it is the inner state that births form. The 'son of David' points to your royal consciousness, a remembrance that your idea can carry the divine lineage into daily life. The Holy Ghost is the living, imaginative force that secretly conceived a new image in your mind. When you rest in this inner visitation, you awaken to a mothering of truth within you, and the fear of circumstance dissolves as you accept that your dream has already been born. The moment you imagine from certainty, the birth becomes your experience.

Practice This Now

Before sleep, assume you are the I AM who conceived a new idea within; affirm, 'This idea is born of the Holy Spirit in me,' and feel it real as you drift toward sleep.
