Neville Goddard on Isaiah 63:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 63 in context

Scripture Focus

15Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

Isaiah 63:15

Biblical Context

Isaiah 63:15 voices a cry that God’s zeal, power, and mercy seem absent from the speaker's experience. It invites turning from a perceived external distance to the inner state where God truly dwells.

Neville's Inner Vision

Look not to the sky for God, but to the I AM you carry as consciousness. When Isaiah cries, look down from heaven, he is really telling you to turn inward to the habitation of holiness that is your own awareness. The questions about zeal, strength, and mercies are not appeals to a distant deity; they are a dare to claim that energy as your present state. Your zeal is the vivifying drive of awareness; your strength is the steadiness of attention; your mercies are the tenderness of your inner life toward all you meet. If you feel them restrained, you have merely believed a lie about your own nature. Practice the revision: affirm that you already possess zeal, strength, and mercy, that they are being exercised through your life right now. With that assumption, you invite the divine to manifest as your experience, not as something outside you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe into the heart center, and repeat, 'I AM the zeal, strength, and mercy of God within me now,' until the feeling of presence grows. Then carry that state into the next moment as your lived reality.
