Extra Mile Cloak and Coat
Matthew 5:40 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus teaches radical generosity beyond what is demanded. Loss becomes an invitation to rest in inner abundance.
Neville's Inner Vision
That courtroom scene is but the ego’s drama proving a lack. The coat represents outward possession; the cloak, the deeper self-assurance that you are more than what is seen. When you surrender both, you align with the I AM—the immutable awareness that supplies all. You do not defend through force; you confirm that you are the power that lends form. The man, the suit, the demand become a mirror of your present belief. By giving beyond what is asked, you fall back into the truth that your reality flows from inner state, not from externals. In that acceptance, the sense of limitation melts and abundance is realized as your true nature.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: In the next moment, close your eyes and rehearse the scene; see the demand arising, and respond by imagining you already possess more than enough to give—coat and cloak included—through the I AM you are.
