Inner Temptation, Inner Strength
Judges 16:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Samson loves Delilah, and the Philistines plot to discover where his strength lies so they can overpower him. The exchange centers on wealth and betrayal, testing obedience and covenant loyalty.
Neville's Inner Vision
Delilah in your vision is the whisper of a lesser self - an old habit of thinking you are powerless unless you prove it to the world. The Philistines' offer of silver is the temptation of wealth, approval, and comfort that promises to reveal your strength if you tell them where it lies. Yet Samson's true strength isn't in hair or swords; it's the certainty of I AM, the awareness that remains when the mind is quiet. When the outer mind presses with questions, the inner man can consent to reveal a secret only to discover that the secret was a belief about power itself. The scene plays out to remind you that you are always free to revise the terms: you can withdraw your attention from the condition and reaffirm that strength is your conscious state, not a fact to be proven externally. The betrayal is not out there; it is the misalignment inside, a choice to identify with limitation. Return to I AM, and the strength returns, intact and unbound.
Practice This Now
Assume the entire scene as a projection of your inner state and feel the I AM as the still, aware power behind Samson. Revise the moment by declaring My strength is in consciousness, not in external evidence, and feel it real.
