Words in the Shadow of God
Isaiah 51:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 51 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that God has placed words in your mouth and covers you with His hand to establish the heavens and foundations of the earth, declaring Zion as His people.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Isaiah’s line, the I AM speaks through you, not as distant decree but as your own breath of awareness. 'I have put my words in thy mouth' is not a history lesson but a practical invitation: your inner speech becomes the creative faculty by which you plant a new heaven and lay a fresh foundation. The 'shadow of mine hand' is the felt protection of an awareness that shapes feeling, decision, and circumstance. When you assume the state of the words you utter, you move from fear to firm intention; you begin to see Zion—the you who is loved and recognized as God’s own—emerging as the natural outcome of your interior decree. Creation and order arise as your inner narrative aligns with the I AM, and your life mirror becomes a stable cosmic order rather than a jumble of chance events. The verse invites you to re-choose your identity as one whom God calls His own, and to let that identity reinterpret every moment.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM speaks through me; I plant the heavens with my words,' until you feel the hand of God supporting every moment.
