Neville Goddard on Isaiah 12:2-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 12 in context

Scripture Focus

2Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

4And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

5Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

Isaiah 12:2-5

Biblical Context

God is salvation; trust without fear; joy flows as one draws from the wells of salvation, and the faithful proclaim His deeds to all the earth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, the verse invites me to see that God is my salvation—my awareness, my I AM. When I say, I will trust and not be afraid, I am not declaring faith apart from me; I am consciously choosing the state of confidence that already exists as my self-knowledge. The LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He is the very tune of my life, the inner cadence by which I move. Salvation becomes practical: joy is the drawing of living water from the wells of my being, where consciousness overflows with certainty. In that day I say, Praise the LORD, call upon His name; I testify to others from the inner awareness that His name is exalted within me, and I reveal His deeds by living them. I sing unto the LORD, for He hath done excellent things—this is known in all the earth: when I practice this inward reality, earth bears witness to my inner transformation. My life shifts from fear to fearless praise, and the world reflects my inner victory.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, I AM God’s salvation in me; feel fear dissolve as the Well of Salvation wells up. Then envision the earth responding with praise, and repeat, His name is exalted within me.
