Neville Goddard on Isaiah 41:10-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 41 in context

Scripture Focus

10Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

14Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 41:10-14

Biblical Context

Isaiah 41:10–14 offers a divine promise: do not fear, for God is with you, and He will strengthen, help, and uphold you. Those who rise against you will fade away, and you will seek them but find them gone.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider fear not as a transient situation but as a shifting state of consciousness. When the text says 'I am with thee' it is not a distant deity, but the I AM within you—awareness itself—holding your hand through every imagined peril. You are the Jacob who feels small, yet within you the Holy One of Israel speaks: stand still and perceive the power of your own inner alignment. The threats that seem to rise are only the thoughts you have about yourself; when you affirm 'I will strengthen thee,' you are not asking for an outside rescue, but reconfiguring your inner proportion so that strength, direction, and support are already present as your natural state. The right hand of my righteousness is the right action of your imagination acting in concert with divine presence. By remaining unmoved in consciousness, you render the external scene harmless; they shall be as nothing, because you have chosen to occupy the state of invincible assurance. Your future dissolves fear into faith as you accept the I AM as your permanent condition.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat 'I am with thee; I will strengthen and uphold me' as a felt truth, imagining God holding your right hand. Then revise the sense of fear into faith by staying with that feeling until it feels real.
