Return to Your Inner City
Matthew 9:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus crosses by boat and enters his own city. The verse signals a return to a home base of influence and presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your ship is the imagination; the crossing is a shift of consciousness. 'Own city' is not a geographical address but a state of awareness you accept as real. In Neville's fashion, the verse tells you that God is not distant but within, I AM, the awareness that sees and moves. As you 'enter into a ship' and cross, you are rehearsing the act of assuming the truth you desire. When you arrive 'in your own city,' you stand in the presence of the Kingdom—the sense that right now, the Presence, power, and love are your immediate circumstances. The outer scene is only a symbol; the real change occurs inside as you inhabit the feeling that you already are where you belong. If you feel separated or lacking, revise the impression by returning to the I AM and restating your inner address as the guaranteed state of being. Your mission becomes witnessing your own awareness: you radiate the kingdom by living from that inner certainty, not by chasing events.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, imagine stepping off a boat into your own city; silently declare 'I am in my own city now' and feel the Presence.
