Inner Trust Over Outer Power
Isaiah 36:8-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Two messengers offer allegiance and earthly security through bribes, while the LORD asserts a higher command. The text invites you to discern whether you place trust in outward powers or in the I AM within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah’s scene is not a history lesson but a map of consciousness. The king’s bribe of two thousand horses and the trust in Egypt are your chase after outward security, a moment when the senses promise safety by appeasing themselves. Neville would say: the LORD in the text is the I AM within you—your immutable awareness—and the command, Go up against this land, is a call to rise to a higher state, where you are guided from within rather than persuaded by external appearances. When you hear the lure of Egypt, you are being asked to choose: do I trust the outer apparatus or the inner decree? If you choose the latter, you destroy the old land of limitation by imagining and inhabiting a new state of abundance, led and provided for by the I AM. Imagination becomes the real chariot; your present conditions yield to your inner conviction. The question 'Am I come up without the LORD?' becomes the invitation: will you live from the I AM or wait for guarantees from the senses? The answer is your practice: assume the state of complete inner security now, and feel it real until it becomes fact.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and affirm, 'I am led by the I AM; I need nothing from outside.' Then, feel the inner supply as tangible reality, letting it displace fear and the urge to seek Egypt.
