Neville Goddard on Job 23:1-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 23 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then Job answered and said,

2Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

3Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

4I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

5I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

6Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

7There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

Job 23:1-7

Biblical Context

Job laments his suffering and longs to find God, to bring his case before the divine throne. He imagines a candid dialogue that could deliver him from his uncertain judge.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 23:1-7 is interpreted by Neville as a turning of attention rather than a mere complaint. The cry to find God becomes the inward search for the I AM, the seat within where God speaks in you. Your mind, not any external court, is the real court where you order your life and feel the words you expect to hear because you already know the answer in consciousness. When Job speaks of power and strength, he reveals a law: alignment with truth within endows you with true power. The idea that the righteous might dispute with Him then dissolves into a present-tense agreement: you stand before God and experience the strength that comes from within, not from external verdicts. The event is a shift of state of awareness, where you assume the outcomes you seek, revise the complaint into a confident appeal, and feel the deliverance as the inner light rising, making your life its own courtroom of truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and center awareness in the chest, then declare I AM here before the inner throne; imagine God answering with calm wisdom and allow the sense of strength to fill you as relief.
