The Inner Word and Freedom
Isaiah 30:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 30 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 30:12 warns that despising the word and trusting oppression keeps you stuck in an inner state of limitation. The remedy is to turn to the inner word and revise your belief by claiming the I AM as your reality.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you is the Holy One of Israel—the I AM—whose word you either honor or reject. Despising this word is the mind’s habit of refusing the inner decree that you are whole and free. To trust oppression is to believe in a reality ruled by lack and control, which drives you to stay fixed in a state that matches that belief. When you cease resisting the word and begin to dwell in its truth, you shift your consciousness and alter the texture of your life. The word is not outside you; it is the living assumption you hold about yourself. Practice aligning with the inner decree by choosing a state that mirrors your wish and letting it feel real until it occupies your entire awareness. You do not change by debating appearances, but by re-scripting the inner sentence you accept as true.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and declare, 'I AM the Word within me.' Then revise by feeling the state you desire as already present, letting that reality fill you until it replaces the old sense of oppression.
