Neville Goddard on Isaiah 38:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 38 in context

Scripture Focus

4Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,

5Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

6And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

Isaiah 38:4-6

Biblical Context

The passage depicts God assuring Hezekiah that prayer is heard, tears are noticed, and a physical extension of life—along with deliverance and defense of the city—will follow.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard mode, the word to Isaiah is the voice of your I AM. When you feel the ache of prayer and the weight of tears, you are not ignored; your consciousness is being shifted. The promise to add fifteen years is the inner conviction that your life can be prolonged by claiming a new state of awareness here and now. The city represents your inner life—the beliefs, emotions, and conditions you inhabit. Deliverance from the Assyrian king is the release from fear and limitation, achieved by a sustained state of faith in the I AM’s power. The defense of the city is the unshakable steadiness of your mind when you dwell in the truth that you are already loved, provided for, and kept by the I AM. The verses invite you to revise your sense of time and circumstance through imagination, feeling, and the acknowledgment that God is the I AM within you, eternally responsive to your deepest prayer.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and affirm, 'I am the I AM; I have heard and answered my prayer.' See yourself already living the extra fifteen years, defended and at peace, and let that feeling widen into your daily life.
