Inner Trumpets of Liberation

Judges 7:16-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 7 in context

Scripture Focus

16And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
17And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
18When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
19So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.
20And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
21And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
22And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
Judges 7:16-22

Biblical Context

Three hundred men are divided into three groups, each with a lamp and an empty pitcher, and trumpets ready. They follow Gideon’s example, and God turns the foe against itself, producing deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of your mind, the three hundred are three centers of consciousness within you. The empty pitchers are your beliefs emptied of fear; the lamps are awareness lit by faith; the trumpets are the spoken declarations of 'The sword of the LORD' that awaken power. Gideon is your higher self, the figure who has learned to act from inner certainty. When he says 'Look on me, and do likewise,' he invites your attention to imitate a psychological attitude rather than replicate a physical tactic. The moment you blow the trumpet and break the pitcher, light floods your entire mental camp, and the enemy—your fears and doubts—finds its power dissolved because you have chosen alignment over resistance. The sword of the LORD against his fellows shows that power acts upon the whole system, not by brute force, but by aligning inner forces until confusion arises in the outer field. The victory is not bestowed from without; it is revealed as your inner state collapses all opposition through unwavering awareness. You awaken to realize that you are the conqueror already, and your world merely reflects this inner conquest.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit calmly, imagine you are Gideon’s hundred; see three groups, each with a lamp and an empty pitcher. Then declare, 'The sword of the LORD, and of me,' blow an inner trumpet, break the pitcher, and rest in the light that remains.
