Neville Goddard on Judges 16:17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 16 in context

Scripture Focus

17That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

Judges 16:17

Biblical Context

Samson says his strength rests on his Nazirite vow and uncut hair. If shaved, he would be weak and like any other man.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this single verse you are invited to see power as a state of consciousness. The Nazirite vow is not a mere rule of old; it is your ongoing alignment with the I AM, the awareness that you are set apart for divine purpose. The hair symbolizes a disciplined focus, a daily choice to remain untouchable by worldly claims. When Samson declares that a razor has not touched his head because he has been dedicated to God from the womb, Neville teaches that strength flows from an inner covenant kept in present awareness. To forget this vow is to entertain a belief in separation from the source of life, and energy drains away until you resemble “any other man.” The remedy is not external control but inner revision: affirm, in the now, that you are kept by God, that your true strength is the vibrational state of conscious unity with the I AM, always intact regardless of circumstance.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner Nazirite vow as your present reality: silently affirm 'I am kept by God' and feel the strength as a vibrant current within you; carry this reverent posture into daily moments, revising any sense of weakness.
