Neville Goddard Lectures: “All Things Are Possible to Him Who Believes”

18 Jul Neville Goddard Lectures: “All Things Are Possible to Him Who Believes”

5/12/69

We are told in scripture and this is the 9th chapter of the Book of Mark, “All things are possible to him who believes” (9:23). There is no limit set upon the power of belief. Then in the 19th chapter of the Book of Matthew we are told, “With God all things are possible” (19:26). So here we see God equated with the believer. In other words, you seated here tonight, you believe you’re here, don’t you, and you believe you are what you think you are? Well, that is God. All things are possible to him who believes, and with God all things are possible, so God is equated with the believer. Well, I believe I’m here, I believe I’m in this room, but can I go beyond what my reason and my senses dictate? Because all things are possible to him who believes must I limit my power of believing to what reason dictates and what my senses dictate? That’s entirely up to me. Will I really believe what scripture teaches, that all things exist in the human Imagination? For if I believe it has to be in my Imagination. If I go beyond what reason now dictates it can only be my Imagination that could take me. Well, if all things now exist in my Imagination, can I go beyond what at the moment my reason dictates and my senses dictate?

Now, here we just had this eruption in the Christian world concerning the little icons, the little nonsenses that people have made over a thousand years and worshipped. Now let me turn you to the 115th Psalm, “Your idols are silver and gold. They have eyes, but they do not see. They have mouths, but do not speak. They have ears, but they do not hear. They have hands, but they do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and no sound is heard in their throat. Those who make them are like them, and those who trust in them are like them” (115:4).

Now you may make a million dollars a year and trust in the little icon that you place—made by human hands—in the front of your car. You might have read it in today’s paper this very famous actress and she in her Rolls Royce had a little accident. The car was smashed; she was injured, but not fatally. She attributes her life to the little St. Christopher. She’s just like the one who made it and sold it to her, but she doesn’t know it. So you have a million dollars, so what? Don’t judge anyone by their little possessions in the world. They got it by belief. Well, they do not know who to believe. They do not know that their very being is the one who created everything in this world. She believes it was her little silver or gold (she could afford gold) a little gold medal that saved her from a fatal accident. Not a thing saved her but her belief in that stupid little thing that is man-made for profit. She bought it not knowing who really was the one in whom one should trust.

So all things are possible to him who believes with God all things are possible. So here we equate God with the believer. Well now, you certainly are a believer…when you go home tonight you expect to find the place that you left, and sleep in, and expect to rise in tomorrow morning. You believe you will, so you do believe. You believe you’re clothed right now. And so, this capacity to believe is God and there is no other God in the world. Your own wonderful human Imagination is God. There never was another and not in eternity can there be another.
