Inner Seas Of Power Within
Isaiah 17:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes nations roaring like the sea and rushing like waves, and promises that God will rebuke them. It contrasts external upheaval with an inner order that comes from divine awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the consciousness Neville points to, the nations outside are pictures in the window of your mind. The noise of the seas is the drama of beliefs you have not yet revised. The 'God' who rebukes them is not an external judge but the I AM you actually are—awareness that never falters with the crowd. When you identify with this inner center, the rushing nations lose their grip; they are driven away as chaff before the wind because your inner seeing rearranges the scene. The prophecy stages a drama of contrast: outer, moving waters versus the unmovable, self-sufficient peace of the inner man. The moment you assume the feeling of I AM as the sole power, the outer waves retreat, and the world conforms to your inward state. This is not coercion but alignment: you dwell in the truth until it becomes your lived reality. Thus the rolling thing before the whirlwind is your old picture of power dissolving as you hold to the certainty of your divine identity.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the state I AM is the ruling consciousness within you. Feel that inner power as already rebuking the tumult, and let the external roar fade as you dwell in the truth.
