Grace and Peace Within
Philemon 1:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Philemon 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Philemon 1:3 blesses with grace and peace as gifts coming from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neville's Inner Vision
Grace to you, and peace, flows from the I AM, the Father within and the Christ of you. When you read Philemon 1:3, you are not awaiting grace from an external source but recognizing that God, the I AM, is your very identity. Grace is your inner favor—an ever-present mood of sanction by your own divine nature. Peace is the quiet, unshakable awareness that all beings are maintained by the self-existent power you call God. The verse names two avenues—the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ—yet Neville's practice reveals them as facets of one Self. The Father is the Source, the I AM that you are; the Lord Jesus Christ is the manifestation of that self in action within you: compassion, order, harmony. So the blessing is a present condition you assume, not a future event. As you dwell in the I AM and rest within this Christ-consciousness, you notice resistance dissolving and a new rhythm of life emerging. You are trained to treat grace and peace as your habitual state, a daily reality grounded in your true identity.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In stillness, declare, 'Grace unto me and peace from the I AM within,' and allow the feeling of being fully sanctioned by God to rise. Then rest in that I AM presence as the body relaxes into a calm, confident knowing.
