Not peace but a sword (creative disturbance)

It is strange, but when the Bible was launched upon the world, and acceptance seemed to be in sight, the great Alexandria Library was burnt to the ground, leaving no record as to how the Bible came into being. Few people can read other languages, so they cannot compare their beliefs with others. Our churches do not encourage us to compare. How many of the millions who accept the Bible as fact, eve

You cannot destroy the state another represents through force. Rather, leave him alone. What is he to you? Rise to a higher level of consciousness and you will find a new world awaiting you, and as you sanctify yourself, others are sanctified. * * * * * * * * * * 31. Question: Who wrote the Bible? Answer: The Bible was written by intelligent men who used solar and phallic myths to reveal psycholog

Luke was speaking of you when he made this statement, “When their eyes were opened, they recognized him and he vanished from their sight.” When your “I” is awakened, you will find that which you have been searching for, and the belief in a power outside of self will disappear. In Francis Thompson’s poem, The Hound Of Heaven, he tells of how: “I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled

This message comes, not to bring peace, but a sword. It comes to set a man at variance against his brother, father, mother and all the members of his household, for I bring the sword of truth which is the word of God. This word is sharper than any two-edged sword, for it is capable of piercing the soul and spirit. I am not suggesting that you turn against your earthly relatives, but that you turn

So I tell you I’m not speaking from theory, I am speaking from experience. I have experienced scripture, and I know the whole thing is true; every word is true. What a man knows from experience he knows more thoroughly than he knows anything else in this world, or than he can know that same truth in any other way. Tonight, I told you what I did to escape from Egypt in spite of pharaoh’s denial of

Now we are told, when man really discovers it, it is the blood of Christ Jesus that must be shed. Well, how could I shed the blood of Christ Jesus? Yet I am told, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin; therefore, what is sin now? Sin is “missing the mark.” If I have a goal in life and I do not realize it, I am sinning. I don’t care what the world will tell me, it’s the one s

So I say everyone can do it. You are a disciple. Don’t think that the disciples from Peter down to Judas are the twelve disciples. Read the 9th chapter of the Book of Acts. Both women and men if they really accept this way of life they are disciples. Anyone who accepts the way of life, and this is the way of life, they’re called “the people of The Way”. We take the phrase “the people of The Way” a

Now are there any questions, please? Q: Could you relate what you said tonight about forgiveness to your chapter called The Pruning Shears of Revision? A: Yes, definitely. Revision is forgiveness. I tried to freshen it as it were, because the word today…after 2,000 years the ship has grown barnacles. And all these words, like atonement, like forgiveness, certain groups have claimed the right and t

Did you read last week’s Life Magazine of MacArthur? I did. I’m very interested in the man and I read the story of Gen. MacArthur. But the very end, the very last paragraph, when he was leaving West Point, he quoted what the general who addressed this fine body of men said. He said: “Before you take off that uniform, you will be at war. It is always so, it’s part of the tradition of our country. Y

But before it comes to you individually, you can take this marvelous revelation and try it on this level. So you are commissioned to go into the world and forgive sin. If you retain it, it’s retained; if you forgive it, it’s forgiven. And whatever you forgive is forgiven. So try it. Start this very night trying to forgive sin, by starting with yourself first. Look at yourself this very night, and

A lady called me yesterday morning to thank me for something she’d asked of me on the morning of the 29th of December when I spoke to Dr. Palmer. She asked me for a certain something, and it was, would I please release her from this problem. And so, in my Imagination I simply assumed that she had called and told me of the good fortune or the good news which she called yesterday morning. But then s

But at the base of it, here is a living molten pool of gold, and I know it is myself. Am I that molten gold? I knew it, I am it. As I knew I am it, I fused with it, and then quickly, in one flash, I went up like a serpent—that is the motion I made—right up into my skull, into the sanctuary, into the Holy of Holies. So the blood of God I knew to be myself. We are told in scripture the life is in th

We are here until the end of June, that is, the last Tuesday in June. So, every Tuesday and Friday from now until the end of June we’ll be here in this room, at this hour, and the subject will be on the Word of God. We’ll treat as many aspects that we can between now and closing. It really is on his law and his Promise. I would like to take all the pieces that I possibly can and tie them together

So let me tell everyone here, do not turn to the left or the right to find him. As you walked through the doors tonight he walks with you. He is your immortal brother. He’s taking himself and his mortal part through all the furnaces until that day when it’s completed within him and he makes of two one new man and you and he are one. Then he unveils himself and you are he, not another. Well, how do

Everything I have told you I’m speaking from experience. I am not speculating, I am not theorizing, this is all true. So there are two within us until the end when he breaks down the wall that separates us, that wall of conflict, and makes within himself one new man in place of two. That one new man is Jesus Christ. So I tell you, in the end you and I are one. There is only one Jesus Christ. There

A miracle is the name give by those who have no faith to the works of faith. So the important question is not did Jesus work miracles in Galilee, but is he miraculously present, miraculously potent now? The answer we give to the second question is the only important answer, really. If we cannot give to the second question a confident and adoring yes, it doesn’t really matter what we say of the fir

So you come into this world and play your small, little part till that moment in time when the dove descends upon you, and then Messiah’s really power-laden work begins. At that moment in time when this happens to you individually your power-laden work begins, and then your work here is simply secondary. Oh, you tell the story, tell it to anyone who will listen, write it in books, write it in maga

These subjects that seem so spiritual are really in the end the most practical in the world…really they are. Tonight it’s “The New Man.” And by the new man I do not mean that a man who was, say, weak at birth and then became strong, or that he was poor and became rich and mighty. These are only states. I tell you that you can be whatever you want to be in this world by a change of state, which is

So I tell you that eventually everyone in this world, regardless of what they have done or what they are capable of doing, will be incorporated into the body of the risen Christ; and that is the new man, that is God himself. You can’t rationalize it. This belongs to a region that is completely outside of what the intellect inhabits. Therefore, all the wise men in the world could not in any way dis

Now listen carefully to what you can do on this side of the veil to break down that wall between the two, and make of two, one new man. “Jesus came into the world preaching the gospel of God saying, ‘The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand.’ Repent and believe in the gospel.” Believe my testimony, for all the promises of God have found their fulfillment in me. Believe my gospel and

Christ In Man Neville Goddard 10-17-1966 Christ is the reality, the God that is in Man. It is he who breaks down the dividing wall between himself and Man and makes of the two, one new Man. Is this all done on the other side of the veil, or is there something that we can do on this side of that dividing wall? Let me share with you a story of a very dear friend of mine, one who has had most of my e

Scripture tells us there are two things, which God finds impossible to forgive. The first is our failure to believe that I am He and the second is the eating of the tree of good and evil. Man’s unwillingness to believe that I am He is the fundamental sin; for God, whose name is I am, became man that man might become God. My unwillingness to believe that I am he who causes me to breathe, to think a

(This lecture was slightly abbreviated and originally typed by someone else. Tape?) Tonight’s subject is Occupant or Inmate. An occupant dwells in; one who establishes title to unknown property by dwelling in it. An inmate is confined, as in a prison or asylum. An occupant is free to come and go; chances are he doesn’t really move and remains just where he is. The inmate feels he can’t move, feels

“Then he said to me when we were pinned down, he said, ‘Sarge, do you have a grenade?’ I said yes. He said, ‘Let me have them.’ So, he said, I unpinned a couple and the very motion caused fire, and he took them. He stretched his hand out and took them. Then he jumped up like lightning and threw, pins pulled, threw them right into that nest and blew the entire nest apart. He was wounded, seriously

Tonight’s subject is “The New Man.” Christ is really the reality that is man, the God that is in man. Now, is it all being done on the other side of the veil or is there something that you and I can do on this side of that dividing wall? For we are told the wall is broken down to make of the two one new man. Now, let me share with you a story told me recently by a very dear friend of mine, one who
