Neville Goddard on Judges 5:26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 5 in context

Scripture Focus

26She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

Judges 5:26

Biblical Context

Jael uses a nail and hammer to kill Sisera, symbolizing a decisive inner act that overcomes a stubborn foe.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 5:26 is not merely an external deed but a map of your inner life. The nail and hammer symbolize fixed ideas and the I AM power pressed into form. Sisera stands for the stubborn belief that a condition cannot change. When you set your hand to the nail and your other hand to the hammer, you enact a decision: the old fear is pierced through and rendered powerless by your awareness. This is the victory of consciousness, not violence in the outer world—an inner act that dissolves the very image feeding the limitation. As you hold this inner act, the outer scene will align with your renewed state. Deliverance will follow a new assumption. The work is complete when you feel your I AM sovereign and present, and when the temples of limitation have been opened by your inward decree.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the obstacle as a nail in the wall of your mind; feel the hammer in your hand and declare, 'I AM free now,' dwelling in that feeling until belief yields.
