Neville Goddard on Judges 4:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 4 in context

Scripture Focus

14And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

15And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.

Judges 4:14-15

Biblical Context

Deborah tells Barak that the day of deliverance is at hand and that the LORD has gone out before them. Barak leads with ten thousand, and the LORD defeats Sisera.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 4:14-15 speaks not of a siege in the land but of a realization in the mind. Deborah's call to Barak is a call to a conquered state of consciousness: the day has arrived because the I AM within you has already gone before you, arranging the inner alignments. The ten thousand are the many aspects of yourself that stand ready—courage, discipline, imagination, faith—following the clear impulse of the inner ruler. Sisera, the chariots and the host, are the old fear thoughts and stubborn habits that your attention has defeated by your acknowledgement of the present I AM. When the Lord discomfits them before Barak, that is the sensation in you when you refuse to argue with your new assumption; the old picture collapses as the sword edges of revision cut through it. Sisera fleeing on his feet is the intellectual release of a belief that has been replaced by the inner reality: you have accepted the victory already accomplished in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, The LORD has gone out before me; I am delivered. Then feel it real by steadying the sensation of victory in your chest as you revise a fear or limitation.
