Inner Creation Through Faith

Romans 4:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Romans 4 in context

Scripture Focus

17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Romans 4:17

Biblical Context

God quickens the dead and calls those things which be not as though they were. Abraham believed, and through faith he aligned his inner life with the promise of many nations.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the scripture invites you to turn from appearances to the activity of consciousness. The I AM within Abraham—your own immutable awareness—speaks life where there is seeming decay. Faith is not waiting for favorable signs outside you; it is the inner act of assuming the end and letting your inner atmosphere agree with it. When you accept that what you desire already exists as a possibility, you partner with the force that quickens the dead—the dynamic energy of awareness that forms from formlessness. The clause 'callest those things which be not as though they were' becomes your daily practice: you call the not-yet into the here and now by living as if it already is. Each moment you yield to doubt, you delay; each moment you dwell in the feeling of completion, you accelerate the manifestation within your own consciousness. The inner covenant is loyalty to your own God-self. Trust this process: you are the author of your becoming, and your imagination is the instrument of life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and declare, 'I AM the source of life; I call this not-yet into being.' Then feel the reality of that end as your present sensation until it is unmistakably real.
