Inner Upbringing of the Self

Judges 13:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 13 in context

Scripture Focus

12And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
Judges 13:12

Biblical Context

Manoah asks how to order and nurture the child, seeking concrete guidance for upbringing. The verse invites us to see the inner life as something to be ordered under divine guidance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Manoah’s question is the inward question every soul whispers when a new life, a new habit, or a new direction is perceived. The 'words come to pass' are not future prophecies but the conditions of your own consciousness. When you ask, 'How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?' you are really asking how to order your inner life—your impulses, your values, your daily acts—so that the divine intention can take form. The child represents your future self formed by obedience to the inner law. To answer, assume that the inner command already governs you; treat your present circumstances as the outermost expression of that inward order. Feel the reality of sanctified routine, dedicated focus, and disciplined affection, and watch how thought, feeling, and action align to produce the outcome you seek. The I AM is the parent; you are the caretaker whose job is to maintain a suite of holy dispositions ready to bless the days to come. In that alignment, what you intend becomes your lived experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the inner command already governs you and feel the acceptance of that order. Spend 2–5 minutes imagining your days flowing in holy obedience as the I AM directs.
