Inner City Renewal
Isaiah 61:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 61 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 61:4 speaks of renewing and rebuilding what was desolate; it signals an inner restoration that can occur through conscious assumption and renewal.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah speaks of cities re-formed, but Neville teaches that the "they" are you; the desolation is never outside, only a condition of consciousness. When you behold wastes, you behold a state of awareness that has forgotten its own power. The only reconstruction required is a revision of your inner state—an assumption that the I AM has already rebuilt the city within you. Feel it as real: imagine wide streets, thriving homes, libraries of understanding, all arising from your settled conviction that lack is dissolved by the I AM at work in you. Your imagination is the architect; your feelings are the blueprint. Do not search for external evidence; declare, I AM rebuilding my inner city now, and let the feeling follow as if the work is done. As you persist, the desolations of generations yield to renewal, because consciousness creates form. The verse is a practical invitation to die to old images and awaken to a renewed inner metropolis.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine walking through the rebuilt city within you; feel the air of possibility and declare, I AM rebuilding my inner city now.
