Wine Cries in the Streets
Isaiah 24:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 24:11 presents a street lament where people cry out for wine and joy vanishes from the land.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah's cry is not a distant forecast but the inner weather of your consciousness. The streets symbolize your outer life; the cry for wine is the mind seeking pleasure, relief, and stimulation. When the mirth of the land is gone, it signals a moment when awareness has forgotten its own abundance. In Neville's terms, you are not observing a fixed world but experiencing a state of consciousness. The 'wine' you seek is the intoxication of sensations you imagine will fill the emptiness of restricted selfhood. Remember: the I AM within you—the universal self—remains untouched by lack. By assuming the feeling of infinite supply and inner joy, you revise the inner weather. Do not chase external appearances; affirm that joy is your natural state and that the land's darkness dissolves as your inner light returns. When you rest in the truth that you are the source of all being, the street scene and its cries transform into evidence of your inner abundance. The prophecy in this moment becomes promise as you dwell in your I AM presence.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the I AM as your present joy. Revise the scene by affirming: 'The joy of the Lord is my strength; the streets are alive with the wine of delight now.' Do this for 5 minutes with full felt sense.
