Inner Prophecy Realized
Matthew 1:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says these events were done to fulfill what the Lord spoke by the prophet, binding outer happenings to a prophetic word. It frames outward events as the outward sign of an inner decree.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's view, the 'Lord' is the I AM within you and the 'prophet' is your inner imagination. When Scripture says all this was done to fulfill the spoken word, it points not to a distant event but to recognizing your present consciousness as the fulfillment. Outer stories align with an inner decree because your awareness, your assumption, is the true author of every scene. If you want the prophecy realized, awaken to the truth that the future you seek is already contained in your current I AM, waiting for your vivid inner declaration. Thus fulfillment occurs first in consciousness; later events appear as signs of a once-imagined certainty. Practice the discipline of assuming the end, feeling the reality of that end now, and treating your inner word as law. In this way you do not chase fulfillment; you become it, and the world follows the already-done decree.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, I am the fulfillment of the prophecy now. Visualize a concrete scene where the outcome is real, and hold that sensation as present reality for a minute.
