Philippians 1:3-5

Biblical Context

Paul thanks God upon remembering them, and he prays for them with joy because of their ongoing partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember that you are the I AM, and the I AM remembers others as expressions of your own divine state. When Paul says I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, you are being invited to hold people in your interior atmosphere until they become a fact in your consciousness. Prayer is not asking from without, but a continuous revision of your inner state, a joyful practice of faith that your fellowship in the gospel already exists within you from the first day until now. The gospel becomes your inner alignment: the good news that unity and mission are established in your consciousness, and your remembering activates that truth in your world. See them not as distant others but as reflected aspects of your own awakened I AM, and let gratitude seal this inner bond so it can manifest outwardly as harmony and cooperation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in stillness, recall the beloveds you remember from this verse, and feel the I AM acknowledging their presence as part of your inner life; repeat the line, 'I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,' and let the joy of that gospel fellowship fill your chest until it feels real within you.
