Neville Goddard on Isaiah 42:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 42 in context

Scripture Focus

13The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

14I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

Isaiah 42:13-14

Biblical Context

The passage pictures the Lord as an inner, conquering force who rises after a long silence to confront inner enemies; it signals the birthing of a new consciousness that destroys old limitations.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a law of the soul, Isaiah 42:13-14 tells you that the I AM within you may stand as a mighty man, moving from stillness into decisive action. The long holden peace is not resignation but the inner period when you have prepared your desire; now the cry, like travailing woman, births a new state of power. 'Enemies' are not people but limiting beliefs and conditions that have ruled your world. When you imagine the self as a whole, undivided consciousness—the I AM that cannot be divided—you stir up jealousy for the manifestation you deserve and roar with the confidence that comes from the inside out. You do not attack from outer force; you arise from inside and let the old forms be destroyed in the fire of your conviction. The moment you accept that you are the source of your reality, you prevail over the so-called enemies, and your world shifts to reflect your newly realized state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and claim 'I AM the mighty Lord of my life.' Feel the inner king rise, then let a roar of conviction erupt inside and imagine the old limitations dissolving as you stand in the new state now.
