Inner City Trust in God
Isaiah 48:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 48 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that they claim the holy city and place their trust in the God of Israel; the LORD of hosts is His name.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine this line as a teaching about your state of consciousness. The 'holy city' is not a distant place but the settled atmosphere you dwell in when you acknowledge the I AM within. To 'stay themselves upon' the God of Israel means to rely on the living presence you name as LORD of hosts—the dynamic power behind every event. When you identify with that Name, you are no longer the anxious traveler; you are the host of hosts, the ruler of your inner weather. The verse does not appeal to geography but to identification: you are called holy by your own assumption, and your security rests in the awakened, all-sufficient I AM. As you practice faith through this inner declaration, you rewrite memory, revise belief, and feel the reality of that power already resident within you. Thus, external appearances bend to your inner posture, and life reflects the majesty of your inward Lord.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of the holy city within. Silently declare, 'The LORD of hosts is my name,' and let that I AM power steady your inner weather.
