Inner Confidence in Isaiah 36:4

Isaiah 36:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 36 in context

Scripture Focus

4And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Isaiah 36:4

Biblical Context

Rabshakeh taunts Hezekiah, asking what confidence he truly trusts. The scene exposes how external power tests an inward state, not the other way around.

Neville's Inner Vision

Rabshakeh represents the voice of outward threat and doubt, the image of armies and kings pressing in on your awareness. Yet in Neville’s psychology, such taunts reveal only the state of your inner trust. The question “What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?” invites you to turn away from dependency on distant powers and inquire who you are in the moment of testing. If you examine your inner life, you will see that confidence is not secured by visible protection but by the I AM within you—the awareness that imagines and sustains you. When you insist that your feeling of safety comes from something beyond, you empower the very illusion that challenges you. Instead, adopt the practice of assuming the state of unwavering trust here and now. Imagine that the I AM is your fortress; dwell there until the sense of security becomes your lived reality. Remember: imagination creates reality, and the sovereign you is the I AM, not the external force being wielded in the taunt.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, recall the taunt, and revise it by affirming, 'I am confidence; the I AM within me is my security now.' Feel this truth in your chest until it becomes your lived state.
