Neville Goddard on Romans 4:19-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Romans 4 in context

Scripture Focus

19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:

20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

Romans 4:19-20

Biblical Context

Abraham did not waver in faith, considering not his own body nor Sarah's dead womb. He held to God's promise despite age and apparent impossibility.

Neville's Inner Vision

Abraham's body and Sarah's womb were never truly the subject; in the inner realm they were stories the I AM chose to forget. He did not stagger at the promise through unbelief; he entered the state of 'being it now' and let the future result precede the present appearance. In the discipline of consciousness, the man simply refuses to treat aged flesh as real; instead he treats the divine word as the reality that creates the world. To you, this means acknowledging that your own sense of limitation is a mental image, not the truth of you. When you 'consider not' the body's condition, you close the door on doubt and open it to the conviction that God’s promise is the law of your experience. The glory he gives is the harmless glow of acceptance that the desired outcome is already accomplished in spirit; the body follows when the mind is aligned with the gift.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the end is true now, and feel the reality of the promise as your present experience. When doubt arises, revise it gently and let the I AM be your only reference.
