Neville Goddard on Isaiah 55:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 55 in context

Scripture Focus

12For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah 55:12-13

Biblical Context

These verses promise a joyful life guided by inner peace; outward hardship yields to singing and renewal. Nature responds to the transformed mind as thorns become fir and myrtle trees.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, you are not waiting for change somewhere 'out there'—you are the consciousness that becomes the mountains singing. When you assume a state of joy and peace, you awaken the inner weather that causes the hills to break forth in song and the trees to clap their hands. This is not rhetoric; it is your imagination in action, working through you as the I AM revealing itself as experience. The thorny circumstances are the old signposts dissolving, replaced by fir and myrtle as you dwell in a covenant of renewal. See that the I AM within you is the source of every transformation; the outer world merely reflects the refined inner state you entertain. Practice daily: assume the feeling of the fulfilled life, revise even a present difficulty by declaring it replaced, and feel it real until your entire atmosphere harmonizes with joy and peace.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare you are already the joyful, peaceful self; imagine the air around you responding with song, then revise a current difficulty by affirming it transformed into blooming life.
