Neville Goddard on Judges 15:14-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 15 in context

Scripture Focus

14And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.

15And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

16And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

Judges 15:14-16

Biblical Context

In Judges 15:14-16, the Spirit of the LORD empowers Samson to break his bonds and slay a thousand foes with a new jawbone, symbolizing deliverance and divine triumph arising from inner strength.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 15:14-16 becomes a map of consciousness. The Spirit of the LORD upon Samson is the I AM awakening within you—awareness that makes the old cords of limitation fall away as if they were flax burned by fire. The 'jawbone of an ass' becomes not a bone but a symbol of a disciplined idea you seize to act from a new state. When you assume the end you desire—freedom, deliverance, victory—the tool you wield is your renewed awareness. You slay 'a thousand' fears, doubts, and limitations by standing in that present state until the appearance of victory is felt as fact. The chant 'With the jawbone... have I slain' is your inner statement of triumph, not bragging but faith in your own creative power. The moment you imagine and persist in the state of victory, the cords loosen, and a new reality arises. The drama is not external but an inner movement toward the sustained awareness that you already are free.

Practice This Now

Do this: Close your eyes, declare, 'I am the Spirit of the LORD in me; my cords are loosened, my fears slain.' Hold the feeling for 3–5 minutes, then carry the new state into your next moment.
