Neville Goddard Lectures: All Powerful Human Words

The Lord is not inferior as to His Essential Being, but as to His office as the sent. He and the Sender are one, but when the Sender sends Himself into the world to tell the story of Redemption, the position of the sent is less than the Sender. Yet, they are one!

So here, the Lord Jesus Christ is not inferior as to his own Essential Being, but as to his office as the sent in this world, so he makes the statement: “He who sees me sees Him who sent me.” “I and my Father are one.” Yet in this statement he shows you the difference between playing the part, the office of the sent as against that of the Sender, and yet the Sender and the sent are one, because “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.”

They aren’t two, but they are different offices that the One fulfils. So in the office of the sent he is less, he seems to be less, but he is not truly, in his Essential Being, less than God the Father.

So, “I came out from the Father, and I came into the world; again I AM leaving the world and I AM going unto the Father.” (John 16:28)

“And now your hearts are sad because I’ve told you this, but I tell you it is expedient, and it is to your advantage that I go away, for unless I go away, the Holy Spirit cannot come; but if I go away, I will send him.” (John 16:6, 7)

Now, he becomes the Sender, and he sends — it’s still Himself, but this time it’s called by a different name, he sends Himself! And you may know Him as John, you may know Him as Mary; but it is still the same Sender. Now you know Him as Neville, the same Being that was sent; and while I AM in the world as the sent; I play the inferior office to the Sender; but before I was sent, I was incorporated into the body of the Sender, and forever I AM one with Him, for “He who is united with the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.” But in the world where I am now sent I am subject to all the weaknesses and the limitations of the sent and must subject myself to all the weaknesses of humanity. But on the dissolution of this little garment, I am not, then, restored to life; I AM one with the Father — one with the Sender.

Those who have not yet experienced what I am talking about will be restored to life in a world just like this, in a body that is new, gloriously new, unaccountably new, in a world terrestrial just like this, to continue their journey until they reach the climax which is Resurrection, for you are buried in the cleft of a rock. You are that Moses — something to be born.

So, “in the cleft of the rock I will put you, and I will cover your face with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”

It cannot be seen until my Son reveals it; and my “Son” is David! No one will know the face that he truly wears until he sees it reflected in his Son David, for David is the image of the Invisible God. David is the reflection of God and bears the exact image of the Invisible God. You are the Invisible God!

So here, this is what I mean by “the most profound truth,” and yet the most practical application of it: do not think for one moment, even though you are innocent of what you are saying, that it is an idle word. Because why? You are God, and God’s words cannot return unto Him empty. They must accomplish that which he purposed and “prosper in the thing for which he sent it.” So, even though you are ignorant of the Law, you are the operant power, operating that Law of which you may be totally unaware, but there’s no excuse. You will still reap the results, as my friend reaped the results of the loss of weight, which she could ill afford.
