Neville Goddard on Isaiah 51:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 51 in context

Scripture Focus

9Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

Isaiah 51:9

Biblical Context

This verse calls you to awaken the LORD's strength within, summoning a power that recalls ancient victories. It presents deliverance as a shift of awareness, not a distant event.

Neville's Inner Vision

Wake up to the truth that the arm of the LORD is the arm of your own consciousness. When you say awake, you are not calling a distant force from above; you are rekindling the I AM that is always present as your awareness. The ancient days are the timeless now; the generations of old are the patterns of belief you have carried. The 'Rahab' and 'the dragon' are symbolic of chaos, fear, and limitation you once deemed solid. By imagining the arm of God as your own extended powers—will, understanding, creative imagination—you cut through illusion and wound the dragon of doubt. This awakening is not effort; it is recognition: you are the activity of God within your mind, and strength follows belief. Notice that you are invited to dress yourself in vitality by assuming a now-present potency. The moment you inhabit the I AM as your identity, restoration flows as a natural function of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the arm of the LORD, feel strength coursing through you, and declare, I AM that power now. Let fear dissolve as you dwell in that present awareness.
