Inner Leaders and Your Destiny
Isaiah 9:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says that when leaders mislead the people, those who follow them are ruined.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the 'leaders' are your habitual thoughts, fears, and identifications. When you yield to their seeming authority, you go astray, and your life follows suit. In Neville's terms, God is the I AM, the quiet consciousness that remains when you stop worshiping outer authorities. The moment you revise: I am not governed by these thoughts; I am governed by the living Self within, you displace the old leaders and the sense of destruction dissolves. Your life becomes the faithful obedience of the higher state. By feeling as if the I AM is guiding you now, you awaken discernment that cuts through illusion. Imagination, not circumstance, is the source of reality; thus, you can replace doom with a created present experience of wholeness by assuming the role of the inner ruler. Remember, judgments have power only as you consent; be faithful to Truth and the truth of your being.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner governor: declare, I am led by the I AM; revise any belief in external control, and vividly imagine a luminous, guiding presence steering your choices today.
