Ashes to Inner Awakening
Isaiah 44:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 44 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 44:20 warns that a deceived heart feeds on ashes and cannot deliver the soul, clinging to a lie in the right hand rather than truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
The 'ashes' signify sterile beliefs that keep you from the living I AM within. When the heart is deceived, you imagine power lies outside your own awareness, so you cannot deliver your soul. In Neville’s terms, you are your state of consciousness, and you feed what you imagine. The remedy is inner revision: awaken to I AM as the sole power, and refuse the lie you hold in your right hand—your assumed control over reality that never saves. By affirming 'There is no lie in my right hand; I am the I AM,' you align with truth and restore deliverance to the soul. True worship is fidelity to the inner reality rather than outward ritual. As you dwell in that truthful state, inner movements shift and your world follows, for imagination is the creator of experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise: 'I am the I AM; there is no power but God in me.' Imagine your right hand cradling a radiant truth and feel the soul delivered as you inhabit this new state.
