Neville Goddard on Matthew 18:31-32 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 18 in context

Scripture Focus

31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

32Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

Matthew 18:31-32

Biblical Context

Fellow servants report the observed act to their lord, who then forgives the debtor's entire debt, illustrating mercy that flows from a higher awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the scene is not about external punishment, but about your inner court. The 'fellowservants' are the thoughts and conditions that witness what you have allowed into your life. They go to the lord—your I AM, your central awareness—and report what has been done. The lord responds not with judgment but with instantaneous forgiveness of the entire debt, because you desired it to be so. This is the reminder that debt and limitation are only states of consciousness; when you desire liberation and feel it, the bondage dissolves. The cry of wicked servant is a wake up call, inviting you to revise your inner script. The moment you insist, I forgive all debts now, you activate the mercy of the higher self. The truth is that your forgiveness is not earned by moral effort but revealed by the state you inhabit. When you imagine yourself as the I AM forgiving, the ripple goes out, restoring harmony to every part of your inner world.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and in the inner court declare to the I AM that you forgive all debts now. Feel the relief as if the burden were lifted; dwell in this intention until it feels real, and then watch your outer reality respond to the new inner state.
