Inner Freedom of the Kingdom
Matthew 17:25-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Matthew 17:25-26, Jesus explains that the kings of the earth collect tribute from outsiders, not from their own children; therefore the children are free.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of this scene as a doorway into your own consciousness. The 'kings of the earth' represent every condition that would lay a claim on you— worry, debt, obligation— when you identify yourself as separate from God. The line 'Then are the children free' declares your true identity: you are a son or daughter of the Kingdom, already exempt. In Neville’s method, the world does not pass laws; your imagination does. If you accept the assumption, you cease to owe anything to the outer order. The moment you feel yourself as the I AM in a house of divine love, the so-called taxes and tributes lose their power to press upon you. You are no longer a subject; you are the parent, the consciousness that creates. So, revise your sense of lack by declaring, 'I am the child of the Kingdom; I owe nothing to this world.' Then dwell in that feeling-real until it thickens into lived experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the sentence, 'I am the child of the Kingdom; I owe nothing to this world.' Hold the feeling-real for a minute, until you sense the outer demands relaxing their grip.
