Grace and Inner Peace
Philippians 1:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Philippians 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Grace and peace are presented as blessings flowing from the divine within you. They originate in your inner Father and Christ, a blessing you can consciously receive.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Philippians, the blessing is not a distant favor dangled in the heavens, but a state of consciousness you awaken. Grace is the atmosphere of your awareness, a felt sense that you are held by the I AM who is Father within you. Peace is the quieting of the restless mind when you recognize that the Lord Jesus Christ is not outside you but your own inner self, the undivided life you are. When you dwell in that recognition, you stop seeking grace and peace as objects and begin living as grace and peace itself. The verse invites you to revise any sense of lack by returning your attention to the truth of your inner Father and Christ, and to feel that grace saturating your nerves and heart. Persist in that feeling, and the outer world will echo your inner condition. You are not asking for grace; you are becoming it by turning attention into the source of all good within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, affirm 'I am graced and at peace now,' and feel a warm, luminous presence spreading through every cell.
