Inner Ruler, Healer Within
Isaiah 3:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts people calling for a leader from among kin, promising to rule over a ruined condition, but the one addressed refuses, saying there is no bread or clothing in his house.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this moment, not in a distant nation, the scene mirrors your own inner court. The 'man' who asks a brother to be ruler is your tendency to substitute outer authorities for inner assurance. The 'house of his father' is the memory of your true self, your divine lineage. The appeal 'Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler' is the mind's cry for supplies and protection from without, a posture born of lack. When the proposed ruler says, 'I will not be a healer; for in my house are neither bread nor clothing,' he reveals the prison of fear: you cannot heal or govern from deprivation. The truth is that the I AM—the real you, the inner ruler—alone holds the power to provide bread and clothing. The moment you affirm you are the creator of your reality, you stop seeking from without. The apparent ruin signals you must re-enter your throne room and anoint yourself as healer and ruler. In that inner day, the divine principle within you supplies all needs and directs right action; your imagination becomes the physician and awareness the king.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place your hand on your chest, and revise: I AM the ruler and healer of my inner kingdom. Feel the bread and clothing arriving as you imagine it now.
