Anointed Inner Liberation

Isaiah 61:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 61 in context

Scripture Focus

1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Isaiah 61:1-3

Biblical Context

Isaiah 61:1-3 speaks of the Spirit anointing the speaker to bring good news, heal, liberate, and comfort, culminating in a vision of beauty for ashes.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the Spirit of the Lord upon me is not a distant event but a fixed state of consciousness I enter by assumption. The anointing is the moment I recognize that my I AM awareness has chosen a new center from which all words, actions, and events spring. Preaching good tidings to the meek becomes the daily message I tell myself about my own nature—humble, receptive, teachable—so that enlargement can enter. To bind up the brokenhearted is to revise my self-image, to refuse the old pain and insist on wholeness as the truth of now. Proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison is the inner release from fear, doubt, and limitation, opened by my decision to dwell in possibility. The acceptable year of the LORD is the awareness that this moment is a favored year, a door thrown open by my faith. The mourning are comforted as joy, beauty, and praise replace heaviness. When I embody trees of righteousness, I am the planting of the LORD—glorified in the light of my own awakened consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the speaker’s inner state: I AM anointed now; feel the inner liberty blooming, and imagine yourself as a tree of righteousness planted by the LORD.
