Inner Worship, Outer Power

Revelation 11:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Revelation 11 in context

Scripture Focus

16And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Revelation 11:16-17

Biblical Context

The four and twenty elders fall to their faces before God, offering thanks and acknowledging that He is, and was, and is to come. They declare that God’s great power has taken hold and He now reigns.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this vision, you are the inner court, and the elders are states of consciousness bowing in reverent attention to the I AM that you are. Worship here is not external ceremony; it is an inward alignment, a decision to let the Presence of God reign in your experience. When you permit this Presence to take to Itself thy great power, you revise the old sense of power as something you lack and awaken to the truth that Power is already established in your consciousness. The phrases 'which art, and wast, and art to come' remind you that time is dissolved in the eternal Now your awareness occupies. As you imagine the I AM reigning, you feel the shift from struggle to stillness; issues fall away because you are no longer acting from the individual will but from the acknowledged sovereignty of God within. The elders’ gratitude is your own grateful acceptance of a reality that was always present, waiting for your recognition. The Kingdom is not distant; it is the immediate consequence of your assumed reality—the inner throne you sit upon becoming the outer life you live.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, declare, 'I AM the Presence here and now.' Sit as if on the throne of God within, feel the power taking reign, and imagine the life you desire already crowned by that Power.
