Neville Goddard on Judges 14:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 14 in context

Scripture Focus

5Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

6And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

7And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

Judges 14:5-7

Biblical Context

Samson goes with his parents toward Timnath, and a young lion roars as he approaches. The Spirit of the LORD empowers him to tear the lion apart without any tools, and afterward he quietly conceals what he did before continuing to speak with the woman who pleases him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the roaring lion as your own untamed impulse. In the moment you move toward your appointed task, the I AM—your inner awareness—awakens and the Spirit of the LORD comes upon you, granting power beyond what your hands can muster. The lion is rent not by external force but by the truth of your inner state. The fact that Samson had nothing in his hand shows that true victory rests in awareness, not in outward instruments. The episode with the woman points to how attraction and choice reflect your inner alignment; still, the real work is in the hidden realm where Providence moves and grace favors your being. When you keep the deed inner rather than broadcast it, you acknowledge that the extraordinary occurs as your consciousness is steadied in God. Let this scene teach that power follows the recognition of the inner Spirit within you, and the outer world will reflect that reality with grace and guidance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I AM the power of God within me now.' Feel this truth as your immediate reality, then proceed with your day trusting that the inner Spirit guides your steps.
