Inner Fruit From Fig Tree

Matthew 21:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 21 in context

Scripture Focus

18Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
Matthew 21:18-19

Biblical Context

Jesus curses the fig tree for having leaves but no fruit, illustrating that outward appearances without inner fruit reflect a barren state; the event contrasts surface signals with inner reality and accountability.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the morning hunger, you sense a call for manifestation. The fig tree represents a consciousness that shows signs of life—leaves—yet withholds the fruit of true being. To curse it is to declare that the old assumption—that life comes from appearances alone—has ended. The withering is not punishment but the natural outcome of relinquishing a stale state. When you truly assume a new state—I am the fruitful life now, through which all life flows—the leaves fall away and fruit appears. The Kingdom of God is within, not distant or seasonal; it is the steady awareness you choose to inhabit. The event asks you to revise your inner condition until it becomes your ordinary consciousness, so that your outer world reflects the fruit you seek. You become the tree that bears fruit by dwelling in the life you imagine.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare 'I am the fruitful tree of life now.' Feel the certainty of that state and let the sense of fruitfulness fill you for a minute or more, carrying the new assumption into the rest of your day.
