Hidden Courage, Inner Deliverance

Judges 3:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 3 in context

Scripture Focus

21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Judges 3:21

Biblical Context

Ehud, a left-handed judge, secretly wields a dagger and executes judgment; the verse hints that deliverance comes through a bold inner act rather than force from without.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judge Ehud’s story is not about swords but about the inner sword of realization. The left hand — the consciousness you have long neglected — reaches for the dagger from the right thigh, an image of hidden power stepping into awareness. The belly is the seat of fear and the self’s beliefs; to thrust the blade there is to pierce through a pattern that has fed oppression in your life. In Neville’s terms, the nation’s bondage is your own ignorance of the I AM, the God within, and deliverance begins when you become aware of a new possibility and grant it reality by feeling it as already done. You do not coerce externals; you revise your inner state, treating a limitation as a belief that you have outgrown. When you act from a renewed sense of self—quietly, decisively, with no drama—you awaken a power that dislodges the throne of what has ruled you. The act is symbolic: a recognition that your unseen self has the leverage, and belief, rightly directed, creates the life you imagine.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In quiet, assume you are Ehud, the hidden power within. Visualize drawing forth a decisive inner dagger and penetrating a belief that has bound you, then feel the liberated life spreading through your belly and chest as the old state dissolves.
