Stirring Scourge Within
Isaiah 10:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse portrays God stirring up a scourge against an oppressor, using a pattern of deliverance like Midian and Egypt. It signals an inner movement where judgment leads to deliverance.
Neville's Inner Vision
I hear that the 'LORD of hosts' is not a distant deity, but the I AM within you—the awareness behind every thought. The 'scourge' is not external punishment but an inward correction that rouses you from sleep. When old fears are stirred, it is to lift you, as surely as a rod is raised over the sea, into a higher consciousness. This is providence in action: a just rearrangement of your inner state that makes room for a greater sense of self. The deliverance you seek is not out there, but a return to your rightful authority—the certainty that you are the doer, not the victim. The image promises that the power you witness outwardly is the same power within you, now awakening and guiding you toward righteousness and reality. Trust this movement; allow the correction to complete its work in you, and the outer world will reflect your inner justice.
Practice This Now
Imaginative practice: Close your eyes and feel the I AM rising within you, assuming you are already delivered by the inner correction. Dwell in that liberty until the feeling of being restored to full authority becomes your present reality.
