Inner Kingdom Peace
Romans 14:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The kingdom of God is not about external meals or rituals but inner righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Serving Christ, then, comes from dwelling in these inner states, which makes you acceptable to God and approved by others.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the kingdom as your own consciousness, where righteousness, peace, and joy are not earned by rules but registered as your living condition. The Holy Spirit is the atmosphere within you, the constant I AM in which you exist. When you hear 'not meat and drink', hear it as the shift from outward observances to an inner alignment. You are not seeking; you are recognizing a state that already is. If you notice turmoil in the body or mind, revise: 'I am now dwelling in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.' Your attention, lovingly steadied, becomes the leaven that lifts your whole experience. As you hold this state, actions that serve Christ arise naturally—gentleness, patience, kindness—because they bloom from the right inner condition, not from struggle to perform. The world will reflect this inward reign, for men’s approval follows the brightness of your inner state. God, the I AM within, welcomes you into this reign; your task is to keep returning to it, feeling it as real, until it dominates your days.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, breathe, and assume the present-tense state, 'The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.' Feel it as already mine.
