Inner Communion of Faith
Philemon 1:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Philemon 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Philemon 1:5-6 speaks of your love and faith toward Jesus and toward all saints. It says that the communication of faith becomes effective by acknowledging the good within you in Christ Jesus.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine that the verse is not about another person but about your own inner state. Hearing of thy love and faith toward the Lord Jesus and toward all saints reveals that love and trust are living faculties within your consciousness. The 'communication of thy faith' is not a social act but an inner movement of your entire being, something that becomes effective when you acknowledge the good thing that is in you—your wholeness in Christ Jesus. In Neville's method, Christ is the within-ness, the I AM that you are. To awaken it, you do not seek outside; you assume the reality of your divine nature here and now. When you acknowledge the good in you, you align with the state that produces harmonious relationships—the unity of believers in your own awareness. Your faith then acts as a magnet, drawing events, people, and opportunities into your life, based on the state you inhabit. So, feel the truth: I am the good within, I am in Christ Jesus, and through this inner decision 'communication of faith' becomes naturally effective.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, repeat 'I am the good in me in Christ Jesus,' and feel a warm circle of saints around you. Let your inner acknowledgment expand your faith into life.
