Neville Goddard on Judges 15:18-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 15 in context

Scripture Focus

18And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

19But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.

20And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

Judges 15:18-20

Biblical Context

Samson suffers thirst, prays to the LORD, and God opens a hollow place to send water, reviving him and enabling twenty years of judging Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 18 presents a thirst not merely of the body but of the consciousness seeking its true domain. In Neville’s sense, the cry to the LORD is your inner I AM answering your assumed state. The ‘great deliverance’ is the empowerment you already possess; the hollow place in the jaw represents the inner space opened by a confident assumption. When water pours forth, it is the revival of awareness, the spirit’s vitality returning as you dwell in the truth that you are already provided for. The twenty years of judgeship symbolize the enduring habit of belief you release as you embody this new state. Enhakkore, the well opened by a cry, becomes your daily practice: inward crying, inward drinking, and dwelling in the certainty that God’s provision is present in you now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM has supplied your need; tell yourself, 'I have this water now,' and feel the revival flowing through you.
