Neville Goddard on Isaiah 26:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 26 in context

Scripture Focus

12LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

13O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

Isaiah 26:12-13

Biblical Context

These verses declare that peace is ordained by the LORD within us. They also affirm that true allegiance is to the one God, not to external powers, and that our deeds are wrought by the divine activity within.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet of your imagination, Isaiah is speaking to your own I AM: peace is not granted by contingent rulers but is decreed by the inner governor who has already wrought all your works. The line about other lords is your awareness of counterfeit powers—habit, fear, desire for control. When you acknowledge only the Name (the I AM), you enthrone the one cause and source of all happening. Your outward life becomes the visible fruit of this inward decree: the moment you align with the feeling that God within is king, peace flows as a settled state, not a transient condition. Worry falls away because you recognize that all events are the self's activity, and the self is unified under the single sovereign I AM. This is true worship: turning your full attention from externals to the inner ruler who ordains a sacred order of peace in your heart.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I AM the Lord of my peace; within me, all works are wrought. Sit in that state and feel the peace as already accomplished, then observe outward life shifting to reflect this inner decree.
