Reproof as Inner Turning
Proverbs 1:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites you to turn toward reproof, promising that, as you do, the Spirit is poured out and the inner words of truth are made known to you.
Neville's Inner Vision
Proverbs 1:23 speaks to the awakened I AM within you. When you hear reproof, see it not as punishment but as a summons to shift your state of consciousness. Your present thought-patterns have limited you, and the moment you consent to turn toward that correction, the Spirit of your being pours itself forth. The phrase ‘I will pour out my spirit unto you’ becomes your inner flood of illumination, a sudden clarity that reveals the next inner words you are to speak or embody. Do not resist the correction; embrace it as a doorway into a higher awareness. The promise of knowing the words implies that, in this new state, your imagination is the channel through which God discloses truth and guidance. By assuming you are already taught, you align with the reality you seek and allow the truth to disclose itself from within you. This is your inward act of faith turning into outward realization through imagination.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I turn at my reproof now; I am one with the I AM.' Then vividly imagine a gentle pour of Spirit into you and feel the next words or the needed understanding already known to you.
