When Flesh Fails, Spirit Remains

Isaiah 31:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 31 in context

Scripture Focus

3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
Isaiah 31:3

Biblical Context

The verse contrasts outer human power with inner Spirit; reliance on worldly help fails, while true safety comes from the Spirit within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the inner land of your mind instead of ancient deserts. Isaiah says, the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. In Neville's light, these words reveal a simple law: you are not wrestling with nations but states of consciousness. The so-called outer powers, your plans, people, and resources, are symbols of counterfeit strength. When you lean on them, you experience the fall that follows: they appear to help, yet a deeper law dissolves their grip. The Lord's hand is the quiet, ceaseless awareness that you are, here and now, the I AM who can never be lacked. The 'stretching out' is not a catastrophe but the unveiling of what you already are: a living Spirit, not an arrangement of flesh and fear. Therefore, trust, not in what you see, but in what you affirm about yourself. The moment you revise your assumption to be that the inner Spirit is your only practical support, every happening realigns to reveal Providence, guidance, and a sense of inexhaustible supply.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and assume the feeling of being sustained by the inward Spirit now; revise any reliance on outer power, and silently declare, I AM the provision.
