Inner Peace Jehovahshalom
Judges 6:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Judges 6:23-24 records the LORD telling Gideon to fear not and that he shall not die. Gideon then builds an altar named Jehovahshalom, signaling an inner peace established in consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this scriptural scene, the LORD is the I AM speaking within you. The words Peace be unto thee and fear not are an invitation to dwell in your true nature, the unshakeable self that never dies. Gideon’s fear represents the mortal dream; the awakening comes when you acknowledge that you are the constant presence that these words affirm. The altar Jehovahshalom is not a temple built in the open, but a deliberate act of imagination: you fix a steady feeling-tone of peace and christen it as your inner sanctuary. In Neville’s method, you do not seek peace externally; you revise your assumption until the sense of self is already in peace. Speak the name Jehovahshalom to yourself and embody it: the Lord is peace, I am peace, I am presence. As you maintain this state, outer circumstances loosen their grip and the inner scene confirms your true nature. Thus you live as peace, and fear no longer governs your life.
