Spirit Upon You: Inner Victory
Judges 14:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The Spirit of the LORD comes upon Samson, he moves in power to defeat foes and claim spoil. His anger rises as he returns to his father's house.
Neville's Inner Vision
Samson is not a man but a state of consciousness stirred awake by the I AM. When the Spirit comes upon you, you descend into a mental 'Ashkelon' - a zone where old patterns and projections seem real - and you cut through them with decisive imagination. The 'slaying of thirty' represents dissolving thirty stubborn beliefs or impulses that have kept you bound to fear, obligation, or pride. You take their spoil - the energy, clarity, and power won in the act - and you coin new garments for those who solved the riddle, acknowledging the inner insight that arises when understanding breaks through. The change of garments is the new self you wear after the worked-through insight, the outward evidence of inner mastery. Yet the anger that kindled signals that the energy released by victory must be redirected, not spent in strife. Samson goes up to his father's house - the inner center of awareness where I AM resides. This tale does not demand outward conquest; it is showing you that Spirit moving through your imagination rewrites your inner script, returning you to the home of your true awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and feel the Spirit of the LORD already upon you. Assume I AM presence, and imagine yourself defeating a limiting belief and dressing your mind in a fresh garment of understanding.
