Inner Ship Of Faith
Matthew 14:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus directs his disciples to enter a boat and sail to the other side, while he dismisses the crowd. The moment signals release from outer occupation and a step into a chosen journey.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Matthew 14:22, the I Am speaks by simply constraining the disciples to enter the ship and go before Him to the other side, while the crowd is sent away. The ship stands for a fixed state of consciousness you actively assume. The other side is the fulfilled condition you intend to awaken into, and the dismissal of the multitudes is your practice of turning from outward appearances to the inner assurance that you are already the cause of change. When you obey this inner command, you place yourself in a new movement of awareness: you feel the wish fulfilled here and now, and you trust the inner governor to navigate you to shore. Providence answers not from outside but as the fruit of your own assumed state. The challenge before you is a call to prove the reality of your inner vision. By remaining faithful to the assumption, you align with your true nature and watch the outer world bend to the inevitability of your inward reality.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already on the voyage toward your goal. Feel the ship beneath you and declare I am the state that fulfills this desire.
