Neville Goddard on Revelation 3:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Revelation 3 in context

Scripture Focus

8I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Revelation 3:8

Biblical Context

Revelation 3:8 speaks of Philadelphia's works, noting an open door that no one can shut, and commending their keeping of the Word and not denying His name.

Neville's Inner Vision

Revelation 3:8 is not about geography but an inner state. The open door before Philadelphia symbolizes opportunities that arise when your awareness aligns with the Word you have kept and the identity you have not denied—the I AM within you. Your 'little strength' is not weakness; it is the seed of faith ready to form results when fed by faithful obedience. By not denying the name, you refuse to identify with lack and affirm the higher self as your true reality. The door is not opened by worldly permission but by your inner decree guided by divine principle. Dwell in that I AM sense, and the door appears as you feel it real, inviting your next action in harmony with eternal truth. The outer world will follow suit as you operate from this inner certainty, letting opportunity arise through a quiet, steadfast alignment with your true nature.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are already standing in the open doorway, say 'I AM' and feel it real. Let opportunities rush through as your true identity leads the way.
