Inner Counsel Establishes Purpose

Proverbs 20:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Proverbs 20 in context

Scripture Focus

18Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
Proverbs 20:18

Biblical Context

Purpose is formed by inner counsel. With wise advice you align your plan and move with decisive action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Every purpose you entertain is not a mere whim but a state of consciousness seeking form. 'Counsel' is the inner conversation of the I AM, the calm, wise adviser within you. When you invite that counsel, you align with a plan that already exists in the invisible as a completed thing. What you call 'wars' are the honest battles with doubt, fatigue, and fear—wars you win by seeing from the end: the plan fully established in your mind's eye. The verse teaches discernment: seek good counsel, choose a course that rings true, and then move, not by force, but by the inevitability of inner conviction. Your imagination is the war-room where strategies are drawn, where a desired result is rehearsed until it feels inevitable. In such a frame, you are not pleading for outcomes; you are assenting to a reality already present in consciousness. The state you inhabit becomes the world you experience; the outer requires no coercion, only faithful alignment with inner counsel.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and ask your I AM for the counsel you need for your current aim. Hear the inner answer, then revise your mental state until it feels already real; proceed as if the plan is established.
