Neville’s Reading in Gods Almighty Power

Jesus Christ, representing the power and wisdom of God, is not an external entity but is housed within every individual, making external worship or intermediaries unnecessary.

He reads the scripture: "Do you not realize that Jesus Christ, the power and wisdom of God who is one with God is in you?" and still bows before man-made little altars, and believes that someone on the outside is especially equipped to interpret God for him.

Neville’s Reading in Gods Creative Power

The creative power of God, identified as I AM, is personified as Jesus Christ, meaning Jesus Christ is the indwelling creative power within every individual.

And if you read the 1st chapter, the 24th verse of 1 Corinthians, you will discover that the I AM (the creative power of God) is personified as Jesus Christ!

Practical Reflection

• By identifying with Christ as the power and wisdom of God within, one can consciously apply this power through imagination to achieve desired outcomes.
• By recognizing Christ as one's own creative power, individuals can consciously direct their imagination to create desired experiences, understanding that negative experiences also stem from their own use of this power.
• To manifest effectively, one must understand that the power (Christ) and wisdom of God are expressions of divine love, and these qualities are inherent within the individual.
• Recognizing that one's own imagination is the 'Christ' within, the divine power and wisdom available for creation.
