Covenant of Spirit and Speech
Isaiah 59:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 59 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage declares an enduring covenant: the Spirit rests upon you and words are placed in your mouth, to remain with you and your descendants forever. It anchors your inner state so that what you imagine and speak aligns with this divine decree.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved reader, see this covenant as a law of consciousness rather than a history. The 'I' that speaks within me is the LORD in my own chest, the I AM made manifest as awareness. When Isaiah says, My Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, he reveals the mechanism: the Spirit upon you is a heightened state of being, a condition of perception, and the words in your mouth are the vibrations of your inner speech. They do not depart because they are born from your most intimate assumption. Your seed and your seed's seed symbolize the ongoing line of inner states; every thought you entertain is this covenant extending forward. If doubt arises, you loosen the flow; if you maintain the inner claim, the language you utter becomes the living outpicturing of your state. The covenant is not a distant favor but an inward constitution that endures as you persist in imagining from the I AM. Therefore you live by a fundamental law: your spoken word reflects your deepest knowing, and that knowing never terminates.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled: you are saturated with Spirit, and your words are already true. For a minute, declare, 'The Spirit is upon me, and my words sustain the covenant,' and let the sensation of that truth linger in your chest.
