Neville Goddard on Isaiah 45:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 45 in context

Scripture Focus

1Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

4For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:1-6

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

In the sanctuary of your own consciousness, the LORD is the I AM that awakens a hidden anointing within you. This anointing is not a person but a state of power that steps forward to subdue the storms of life. The right hand that I, awareness, hold before you is the assured action of belief itself, moving through your thoughts to open doors that seem sealed. Brassed gates and iron bars are the stubborn habits and fears you have long accepted as real—now I go before you, dissolving them, making crooked paths straight. I pour out the treasures of darkness and secret riches so you may know that I am the God of your being, the one true LORD within. For your sake, your true self calls you by a name you are only now learning, yet I have already girded you with power you cannot yet fully name. There is none beside me; I am your active, living consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being anointed with the LORD’s power. Visualize doors and gates falling away as you declare, 'I am the I AM; I go before me; I am guided to reveal hidden riches within awareness.'
