Job 12:14-16 Inner Power
Job 12:14-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage describes God’s act of breaking down what cannot be rebuilt and of shutting up what cannot be opened; it affirms God’s control over waters and earthly forces, and finally declares that strength and wisdom belong to Him, who governs both deceived and deceiver alike.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this passage you are invited to see divine sovereignty as the activity of your inner I AM. When it says, he breaketh down and it cannot be built again, imagine the old self-concepts, fears, and habits cleaved by awareness and no longer reconstructible by your former patterns. When it speaks of shutting up a man and there can be no opening, understand that any sense of separation or limitation is being closed in by the one who governs your inner atmosphere. The waters that are withheld and then sent forth to overturn the earth symbolize the moods, currents, and circumstances your consciousness can stir or quiet. Yet with him is strength and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his—a reminder that every act of perception, even conflict, is a movement of the same divine I AM. So you may claim that your awareness is both the breaker and the restorer, and by that recognition you disarm fear and invite a new form to emerge.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, repeat I AM the power that builds and unbuilds. Feel the truth now, and revise a present limitation by picturing the scene already renewed through your inner I AM.
