Neville Goddard on Isaiah 58:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 58 in context

Scripture Focus

6Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

7Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

8Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

Isaiah 58:6-8

Biblical Context

True fasting is not a ritual but acts of release and care: breaking burdens, freeing the oppressed, feeding the hungry, and sheltering the vulnerable. When such deeds are done, your light breaks forth and health returns, with righteousness guiding you and God's glory watching over.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your chosen fast is not a ritual but a turning of your entire inner weather toward freedom and mercy. To loose the bands of wickedness is to release the mental cords of fear and judgment; to undo heavy burdens is to revise the sense of lack and fatigue you have carried; to let the oppressed go free and break every yoke is the clear decision that the I AM within you no longer identifies with limitation. When you affirm this inwardly, light breaks forth as the morning sun of awareness, and your health springs up in response to the conviction that life is for you, not against you. Your righteousness goes before you, a quiet moral order you carry as you walk; the glory of the LORD is your rereward because you have chosen to inhabit right thinking, compassionate vision, and steadfast trust in the I AM. This is an interior conversion, a practical shift of consciousness from circumstance to the invincible power that you ARE.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the feeling of liberty now, and see the inner burdens fall away while you stand already fed, clothed, and protected. Repeat, I AM the light and health of my being, and dwell in that certainty until it colors your next moment.
