Mustard Seed Faith Unleashed
Matthew 17:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Unbelief blocks power; a faith as small as a mustard seed can command even a mountain to move. The verse points to an inner mechanism—belief as a state of consciousness that, when active, makes the impossible possible.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner world is the only stage; the mountain you see is the symbol of a belief currently ruling your mind. When Jesus speaks of mustard-seed faith, he invites you to see that the seed is not the mountain itself but the very state of awareness in which you dwell. Faith, in this sense, is not a quantity you push outward but a quality you assume inwardly until your entire sense of self aligns with fulfillment. The I AM within you awakens to the possibility that nothing is impossible when you cease bargaining with lack and begin living as if the desire is already accomplished. The seed grows by attention: by returning your focus to the recognition I AM in the tense of fulfillment, you loosen the grip of limitation and allow your world to reflect your consciousness. Trust is not devotion to an external force but allegiance to your true self, the I AM, which remains unchanged while beliefs shift. As belief becomes feeling, action follows as if the mountain never existed, and the external moves accordingly.
Practice This Now
In practice: sit quietly, assume the I AM is already moving the mountain in your inner landscape; feel the relief as if it has happened. Repeat the simple revision, I AM that I AM, the mountain is moved, until the sense of completion fills you.
