Inner Discernment Against False Claims

Matthew 24:23-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 24 in context

Scripture Focus

23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25Behold, I have told you before.
26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Matthew 24:23-26

Biblical Context

Matthew 24:23-26 warns that deceptive claims of Christ will arise and urge you to ignore 'here' or 'there' fixes; do not chase external signs or secret places.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville frame, the promised deception is not about people in robes, but a state of mind. The claim 'Lo, here is Christ' or 'there' is a seductive image that tempts you to seek power outside your own awareness. The true Christ is not a person at a distance but the I AM—the unwavering consciousness you are. When you believe external signs, you feed a self with fear, and the mind groans for miracles to prove its value. Yet the 'elect' are those who wake to the reality that all signs, wonders, and messengers arise from your inner belief, not from any place outside. The desert or the secret chamber are inner landscapes, momentary hypotheses your imagination conjures. You reverse this by returning to the inner state of I AM, by recognizing that the kingdom of God is within and the outer scene mirrors your interior discipline. By insisting on your present awareness as the source, you dissolve the power of counterfeit revelations and allow genuine stillness to reveal itself as consciousness itself.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state 'I am the Christ within now' and revise every external claim as illusion by affirming 'There is only the I AM in me.'
