The Promise

The secret of feeling or the calling of the invisible into visible states is beautifully told in the story of Isaac blessing his second son Jacob by the belief, based solely upon feeling, that he was blessing his first son Esau. It is recorded that Isaac, who was old and blind, felt that he was about to leave this world and wishing to bless his first son Esau before he died, sent Esau hunting for

It is not men falling, not a man betraying another, but you detaching your attention, and refocusing your attention in an entirely new direction. From this moment on you walk as though you were that which you formerly wanted to be. Remaining faithful to your new concept of yourself you die or commit suicide. No one took your life, you laid it down yourself. You must be able to see the relation of

This conception of Christ Jesus as human imagination raises these fundamental questions: Is imagination a power sufficient, not merely to enable me to assume that I am strong, but is it also of itself capable of executing the idea? Suppose that I desire to be in some other place or situation. Could I, by imagining myself into such a state and place, bring about their physical realization? Suppose

So do you know what you want in this world? If you know exactly what you want, where do you see it? You see it in the mind of yourself. So when you know what you want, here is a part of Israel scattered, and you didn’t see him on earth. You saw him in the kingdom within you, for the Kingdom of God is within. So you saw a piece of Israel, now go bring him. I formed you from the womb to be my servan

THE ONLY CHRISTIANITY by Neville Goddard 11/10/59 H ere we believe firmly that Imagining is God; that the Supreme Power of the Universe is one with human Imaging. So, when you read the Bible – a fabulous, inspired book – and you come to the word “God” you can also use the word “Imagining” and you will get a clearer understanding of it. Romans 4:20 – “No distrust made him (Abraham) waver concerning

No longer will I cry to “our father David, thy child”, Acts. 4:25. “I have found David” [Psalm 89:20, Acts 13:22]. He has cried to me, “Thou art my Father”, Ps. 89[:26]. Now I know myself to be one of the Elohim, the God who became man, that man may become God. “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion”, 1Tim. 3:16. If the Bible were history, it would not be a mystery. “Wait for

Scripture must be fulfilled “in” us. God’s promise will be fulfilled. You will have these experiences: “And you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sa-ma-ri-a and to the end of the earth”, Acts 1:8. The widening circle — Jerusalem… Judea… Samaria, the end of the earth — is God’s plan. The Promise is still maturing to its time, its appointed time, but how long, vast and severe

In all I have related thus far — with the exception of G.B.’s Vision of the Child —imagination was consciously exercised. Men and women created stage plays in their imagination, plays implying the fulfillment of their desires. Then, by imagining themselves participating in these dramas, they created that which their imaginal acts implied. This is the wise use of God’s Law. But “No man is justifie

But before these came into being, God mapped out his Way, and the Way was called Christ. No one understood what Christ was. They thought it was a man who would come and save the world. Men were always looking for the coming of Christ as a man, and Christ is the way of salvation, not a man. But in man, in you, you are David; he brings forward your son, but that’s his son. Then you will understand t

don’t feel that way. I know what I have done, I know what I am capable of doing, and because I know these things are not me and yet I was called and given this gift, I know everyone will be given it. As you are told in scripture: “If it comes by law then it is not by grace.” It did not come by law, it came by grace. “The law was given us by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” Everyone

This is one of the most difficult subjects I have to tell. Had I not experienced it I wouldn’t dare attempt it. God’s promise is true; he who promised it is faithful, and is being fulfilled in every being in this world and the unnumbered beings to come. The first statement of it, you find in Genesis 17. We are told on the surface that Abraham was ninety-nine and he was promised an heir, a son. If

Eternal youth was put into the mind of man, and then comes that moment in time when men discover who he is – and it’s all God. So the promise, I tell you from experience, is true. We are told in 2 Corinthians 1:20, speaking of Christ Jesus: “In him are all the promises of God fulfilled. All the promises of God find their affirmation, their fulfillment, in him. Well, who is Christ Jesus? Christ Jes

find the babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying on the floor.” And they came and they found it exactly as they were told; but they couldn’t find the event, for the event was invisible to eyes on this level. So here is God’s promise to man that he will bring forth, out of man, himself. He is buried in man. And here is a sign he has succeeded in bringing himself out, individualized as you. It’s

“So tell me, whose son are you, young man?” And he answered, “I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite” (1 Samuel 17:58). And Christ is made to say, I came not to serve, or to be served, “I came to serve, I came as a servant” (Mark 10:45). “I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.” And the word Jesse is I AM. The word Jesse means Jehovah. Jehovah comes not to be served but to

And then come the wise men to discover what has happened. Now listen to the words, “And Abraham sat in the door of his tent in the heat of the day and looked up and beheld three men standing before him.” They were not seen approaching, suddenly they are standing before him, three men, exactly as described in the 18th chapter of Genesis. Suddenly, three men stand before him… and the wind begins to

That comes in the most wonderful way through a series of events, all foretold in the beginning of what is known as sacred history. That’s the 17th chapter, the 17th verse of the Book of Genesis—that’s where it begins. Sacred history and divine history begins there. And you and I are brought into that state of consciousness called Abraham, and there we are shown, only in words. But if I painted a w

I want to tell you tonight the story as it actually takes place. For after unnumbered years the story has been overlaid with all kinds of extraneous things, and it isn’t so at all. Next Wednesday, the whole vast world of Christendom, one billion of us, will tell the story and enact it in churches and homes all over the world. Yes, even in China, in Russia, there are those who believe it and who wi

And three men are present. They come just as you’re told in the 18th chapter of the Book of Genesis. Suddenly, he to whom the promise was made, called Abraham, for Abraham sat in the tent, in the door of the tent is in the tent, and suddenly he looked up and behold, three men stood before him. They were not seen approaching. They suddenly appeared; they were before him. And these three men are not

I’m telling you from an experience. My dream that night was the double-dream. ___(??) and if the dream is ever doubled, God has fixed it; it’s part of the eternal law, and you can’t change it. So I’m sharing with you his eternal law: it’s the end. So I go to the end of anything in this world, I don’t care what it is, and then see the fulfillment of the dream because that’s the end. The end is all

Somewhere along the line, everyone has to enter that state. You might just as well enter that state tonight because somewhere, “You see yonder hills, the sesamum was sesamum, the corn was corn, the silence and the darkness knew; so is a man’s fate born.” You mean my fate is born in that manner? Yes. And the silence and the darkness knew it? Yes. Well now, I’ll take the silence and the darkness and

Now the promise that God made to David was to bring forth from David a son who will be God’s son, and that God will be his father. The son to be brought forth from David would come after David dies. “When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up after you your son, who will come forth from your body. I will be his father, and he shall be my son” (2 Samuel 7:12).

And some lady said to me tonight before I took the platform, “I wanted to give a few books away to my friends and you haven’t Awakened Imagination at the moment, would you recommend some other title.” Well, I recommend that among one of the three. I said, “My friend, pick three different titles and have them exchange the books. Well, here’s my latest book. It’s one I recommend.” “Well, she said, “

And the only thing I speak of here is Jesus. He’s your own wonderful human Imagination, that’s Jesus. He’s your own wonderful I-am-ness, that’s Jesus. Now, test him and see. For you’re told, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are holding to the faith. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless of course you fail to meet the test.” I hope you will discover that we have not failed. N

So in the 8th chapter of the Book of Proverbs, he is personified as wisdom, the very first act of God. As you are told in the 22nd verse, and it goes through the 36th verse, “God created me in the beginning of his way, the first of his acts of old.” Before he brought forth the heavens, before he brought forth the earth, “I stood beside him as a little child.” Now scholars are all agreed that this

Because as a speaker, I was misinformed; I was told that Jesus was God’s son. I believed it. I was raised in that environment as an Episcopalian, and I did not know, even though I read it myself, that he was God the Father. I always thought he was the son. And yet, he tells the whole vast world who will receive his word, “When you see me you see the Father.” But no one believes it. It doesn’t make
