Inner Call to Follow
Matthew 4:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus calls James and John while they are fishing with their father; they immediately leave the boat and their father to follow him.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take this scene as a parable of your own inner calling. James and John are not leaving a place, they are leaving a sense of self that binds them to limitation. The ship is the stream of thoughts; Zebedee, the old identity clinging to safety. The call is the I AM stirring to a higher vocation — the truth they already are in possibility. Their immediate response proves the sovereignty of consciousness: when you identify with the truth in you, the outer nets dissolve as a natural result. The moment of choice follows the inner decree: you choose to dwell in a state where the kingdom is already present, where fear, duty, and family ties yield to a more real assurance. Obedience is not to a person but to your realized self; faith is trust in what your present senses cannot yet verify, yet your inner vision declares true. The scene invites you to revise: see yourself as already in the following, and the world will respond to your inner shift.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume you are already in the vocation you seek, feeling the I AM within confirming the call. Then revise your present self to dissolve old nets and step fully into the state of following now.
