Inner Harvest of Matthew 3:12
Matthew 3:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of a divine purifier who separates valuable wheat from worthless chaff; the wheat is gathered, while the chaff is burned.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your awareness is the fan; it moves through the floor of your mind. The floor is the field of your inner life; the harvest is your true self—wheat representing your integrated, useful qualities, gathered into the garner of your being. Chaff are the false beliefs, fears, and habits that no longer serve you, and they are burned by the unquenchable fire of awareness—not as punishment, but as revelation. The purging is inner discrimination: as you refuse to identify with limitation and you choose to inhabit your realized state, the self-deceiving images dissolve. The Father’s work is your own recognition of what you truly are: the I AM, imagining the world into being. When you “know” the state you desire as already yours, the imagined harvest grows and the imagined impurities vanish. The day you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the inner fan clears the floor and gathers the wheat into the garner. The chaff is burned away, and you are left with a clear, abundant field awaiting expression.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes. State to yourself: I AM that I AM; I already possess the state I seek. Then imagine the harvest—feel gratitude, clarity, and integrity—while holding the feeling of completion for several minutes.
