Living in the End: Bible Passages That Support Neville Goddard's Teaching

Neville Goddard taught that to manifest any desire, one must live as though it is already fulfilled. This means assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled and dwelling in the end result—not the process. Many may not realise that this profound principle is deeply rooted in the Bible. Below are selected Bible verses that align with this powerful spiritual truth, interpreted through Neville’s symbolic framework.

1. Mark 11:24

“For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.”
Interpretation:
This is the core of living in the end: assume it is already done. You must feel and believe it has been given, even before the evidence appears.


2. Romans 4:17

“…even God, who gives life to the dead, and says of the things which are not, that they are.”
Interpretation:
To speak of the unseen as though it already exists is divine imagination in motion. It’s not wishful thinking—it’s creation.


3. Hebrews 11:1

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the sign that the things not seen are true.”
Interpretation:
Faith is not hoping something might happen—it is knowing it already has. Living in the end is the evidence of things unseen.


4. Genesis 17:5

“No longer will your name be Abram, but Abraham, for I have made you the father of a number of nations.”
Interpretation:
God renames Abram based on a future not yet seen. The identity change precedes the physical fulfilment—a perfect example of embodying the end.


5. Joel 3:10

“…let the feeble say, I am strong.”
Interpretation:
Don’t wait to feel strong—declare it now. Even in weakness, assume the state of strength.


6. John 11:41-42

“Father, I give praise to you for hearing me. I am certain that you have always given ear to me…”
Interpretation:
Before Lazarus is raised, Jesus gives thanks. He lives from the end—not toward it.


7. Isaiah 46:10

“Making clear from the first what is to come; and from past times the things which have not come to pass, saying, My purpose will be done, and I will do all my pleasure.”
Interpretation:
Living in the end means imagining the end from the beginning—knowing that what is held in consciousness will be brought forth.


8. 2 Corinthians 5:7

“For we are walking by faith, not by seeing.”
Interpretation:
Do not let appearances deceive you. Walk in the unseen fulfilment and let the world conform to it.


9. Proverbs 23:7

“For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he…”
Interpretation:
What you think and feel within is what you become. Living in the end is sustained identity.


10. Matthew 8:13

“And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you…”
Interpretation:
You receive not according to effort, but according to the state you dwell in—the end you believe in.


11. Philippians 4:6-7

“Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God. And the peace of God… will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Interpretation:
Once you have asked with thanksgiving, rest. Peace is the natural result of imagining the end already realised.


12. Matthew 6:6

“But when you make your prayer, go into a private room, and… let your Father who sees in secret give you your reward.”
Interpretation:
Neville taught that this ‘secret place’ is your imagination. What you accept there is rewarded openly.


13. Joshua 6:2

“And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given Jericho into your hands, with its king and its men of war.”
Interpretation:
Before the walls fell, God declared the outcome. Joshua is asked to see what has already been given. Fulfilment begins in consciousness.


14. Isaiah 55:11

“So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.”
Interpretation:
The spoken word (your inner assumption) goes out and returns fulfilled. Once the end is declared within, the outer must obey.


15. 1 Samuel 1:18

“And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went on her way, and took food, and her face was no longer sad.”
Interpretation:
Hannah accepts the inner confirmation of her desire (a son) and changes her emotional state before any physical sign. She lives in the joy of the end.


16. Genesis 1:3

“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
Interpretation:
Desire is spoken into being—not begged for. The word ‘Let there be’ is the creative act of consciousness assuming the end.


17. Psalm 37:4-5

“So take your delight in the Lord; and he will give you the desires of your heart. Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.”
Interpretation:
Delight—joy—as if fulfilled, draws the desire into being. This is not passive; it is inner alignment with the end.


18. Matthew 9:29

“Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.”
Interpretation:
It’s not external effort—it is the inner state (faith) that determines what is experienced.


19. Genesis 41:32

“And this dream came twice to Pharaoh, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.”
Interpretation:
When the end is fixed in imagination (the dream repeated), manifestation is inevitable. Repetition in consciousness makes it real.


20. Matthew 21:22

“And all things, whatever you make request for in prayer, having faith, you will get.”
Interpretation:
Desire plus faith equals fulfilment. But the faith must assume the prayer is already answered.


21. Matthew 17:20

“He said to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”
Interpretation:
Faith doesn’t require great effort. The smallest assumption, held in consciousness, can bring about the greatest changes—moving mountains.


22. John 14:13-14

“And whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.”
Interpretation:
To ask “in my name” is to align with the end—Jesus symbolises the full manifestation of God’s will. Ask as though it’s already done, and it will manifest.


23. Luke 17:5-6

“And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea; and it would obey you.”
Interpretation:
Even the smallest belief, when directed correctly, transforms the environment. Faith in the unseen end results in action in the physical world.


24. Romans 8:28

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Interpretation:
When you align your imagination with the end (God’s purpose), all things work together for the manifestation of that desired state.


25. Ephesians 3:20

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…”
Interpretation:
Imagination is the creative power within. When you live in the end and assume the state, the power within manifests beyond expectation.


26. 1 John 5:14-15

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us: and if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
Interpretation:
Confidence in the end result is key. Ask from the place of assurance, knowing it is already yours.


27. 2 Kings 4:16-17

“And he said, At this season, when the time comes round, you will have a son. And she said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant. But the woman became with child, and bore a son at that season…”
Interpretation:
The promise of the son is given, and the woman accepts the end before it manifests. Her belief in the promise brings the desired result.
