Fearlessness Before the Sword
Job 39:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts a being who mocks fear, remaining unafraid and unmoved even when faced with a threatening sword. It suggests fear arises from the inner state, not from external danger.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the one who listens with the I AM as the measuring line, Job 39:22 unfolds not a beast but a declaration: fear is a dream of separation that the Self refuses to inhabit. The creature in the verse does not dismiss danger; it refuses to be moved by it, because its sense of itself is already complete in God, the I AM that I am. When you dwell in that awareness, the sword of circumstance—temptation, loss, duty—appears as a mere blade of energy passing through your field, not something that can injure your inner state. Fear mocks itself when you remind it of your undoubting identity, for you do not wrestle with fear so much as outgrow it by assuming a reality in which fear has no leverage. Your imagination, sculpted by faithful insistence, is the instrument through which you become the fearless one on whom the world can lean.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM presence facing the 'sword' of challenge. Feel the fear dissolve as you repeat, 'I am fearless now' and imagine reality reorganizing around that truth.
