Inner Fire, Outer Revelation
Isaiah 64:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 64 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God’s presence is pictured as a consuming fire that boils the waters, so His name becomes known to those who oppose. The result, in you, is a trembling assurance that arises when your inner awareness stands revealed.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah 64:2 invites you to read Scripture not as history, but as your own inner state. The melting fire represents the I AM that softens resistance within you; as it burns, it boils the waters of your fear, your doubt, your established habits. When your consciousness intensifies in that fire, your name—your divine identity—cannot remain unknown even to the 'adversaries' of limitation. The result is that the inner awareness trembles the old conditions, dissolving obstacles as the warmth of presence spreads. This is not about begging God to do something outside you; it is the recognition that you are the flame and the wave—your attention and feeling create the state that manifests as outer effects. The presence you seek is not distant; it is the awareness that notices itself, that wills and feels and thus alters the milieu of your day. Believe this: your inner fire is already boiling the universes you observe.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM as the fire at your core; imagine it boiling the waters of your beliefs. Revise any fear with the assertion, 'I am the presence that trembles not,' and feel the certainty sinking into you.
