Neville Goddard on Isaiah 57:15-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 57 in context

Scripture Focus

15For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

16For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

17For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

18I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

19I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

Isaiah 57:15-19

Biblical Context

The passage expresses that the highest One dwells with the humble, revives the contrite soul, heals the ways of those who wander, and grants peace to both near and distant souls.

Neville's Inner Vision

This reading relocates the sacred not to distant heavens but to your own consciousness. The high and holy One is the I AM within you, the awareness that remains in the high place above every condition. Invite a contrite, humble attitude into your inner room, and you awaken revival of spirit and heart. The scripture promises God will not contend forever; within your mind you discover the truth that the spirit you are is already created and sustained by love, and healing follows acknowledgment. When you observe fault, self-justification, or resistance, know that these are not realities but states of consciousness you may outgrow. I have seen the pathways you tread, and I pledge to heal them as you align with your true center. From this inner healing comes the fruit of the lips: peace. Peace extends from your inner state to those near and far, for peace is the natural expression of the I AM dwelling within. Your revival is a renewal of your entire perception, not a demand on the outer world.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already in the high and holy place of your I AM, humbly inviting your contrite heart to rest. Revision: set a quiet intention that your mind accepts peace as your natural state and feel it real by repeating, I AM at peace.
