Inner Shield of Words
Isaiah 54:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 54 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse promises protection from perceived attack for the faithful, grounded in their relationship with God; their defense arises from the LORD's righteousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the no weapon verse as a record of your inner state, not an external battleground. The weapon is any thought or word that would contradict your sense of I AM. When you hear a judgmental tongue rise inside or around you, you are invited to condemn it in your own consciousness, for this is the heritage of the servants who live by the awareness that their righteousness comes from the LORD. In Neville's language, the entire corridor of life is a dream of consciousness; you awaken to the fact that you are the I AM, and the world rearranges to align with that reality. As you hold this awareness, you do not resist the attacks but reinterpret them as calls to re-state your state. The attacker dissolves when you refuse to entertain it with belief; you are protected by your inner law that says no device of separation can prosper against the one who knows himself as God in expression.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, repeat I AM, and imagine a radiant shield encircling you. Then revise any anxious thought by declaring inside, 'The LORD condemns all judgments against me.'
