Order in Crete: Titus 1:5
Titus 1:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Titus 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Titus 1:5 records Paul directing Titus to set in order what is lacking and to appoint elders in every city in Crete.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take this verse as a map of your inner kingdom. Crete is your field of beliefs and habits; the 'things that are wanting' are those areas where order has frayed your inner peace. When you affirm 'I left thee here to set in order' you are not commanding others, you are commanding your awareness to take charge of the inner city—your thoughts, emotions, and habits. The 'elders' symbolize states of consciousness you appoint in each area—discernment, faithfulness, love, courage. As you acknowledge that I had appointed thee, you honor your own inner blueprint, the I AM within you. The process is not external control but alignment: by imagining your inner governors and by assenting to their authority, you awaken a stable, compassionate current in your days. Resist fatigue by returning to your I AM; obedience to this inner structure yields unity and truthful living from within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you are the I AM appointing inner elders within your life. Sit in quiet, declare, 'I ordain order in my inner city,' and imagine councils of your virtues governing each area until you feel a steady peace.
