Neville Goddard Lectures: “Coming to Know the Only True God”
29 Dec Neville Goddard Lectures: “Coming to Know the Only True God”
By Neville Goddard 4/3/67
Tonight’s subject is “Coming to Know the Only True God.” This afternoon someone called, a gentleman, and my wife answered the phone, and he asked, “What is tonight’s subject?” So she asked me, “What is tonight’s subject?” So I told her the name of tonight’s subject. Then she came back and said, “I don’t think that he was at all impressed with that. He wanted something far more practical.” Well, may I tell you, you will never hear anything in this world more practical than you will hear tonight on many levels. We’ll take it from this level to another level and to other levels.
So here, the subject is “Coming to Know the Only True God”. It’s taken from the 17th chapter of the Book of John. But we will start on the 14th of John, “Let not your hearts be troubled”—it doesn’t matter what in this world appears to be real, it doesn’t really matter. “Let not your hearts be troubled”—no matter what opposes you, what rules you here, no matter what it is. Then he said, “Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions; were it not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and I will take you unto myself, that where I am you may be also. Now, you know the way where I am going” (John 14:1-11). Thomas said to him, “We do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” He said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Then Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied.” He said, “I have been so long with you and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’ Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? Believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe for the sake of the works themselves.” Now, let us go back and show you how practical this thing is. I know from actual experience. I don’t care what the world appears to be…alright…let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. Here, this bold claim, Believe in me. So I’m telling you what I know from experience.
Now, he tells you concerning the way. The way to what?—to everything in this world, I don’t care what it is. The way to everything: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” but, specifically, to the Father. But before we come to that, to everything in this world, I don’t care what it is.
