Neville Goddard on Micah 4:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

10Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

Micah 4:9-10

Biblical Context

Micah 4:9-10 speaks of inner distress and exile, calling you to birth a new self. It promises deliverance and redemption as an inner realization rather than a future event.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Micah’s cry, the exile and the travail, you are not losing something but awakening a sovereign state already yours. The so-called king in thee is the I AM presence you identify with in quiet moments; the questioned counsellor is your habitual thought that forgets this sovereignty. The pains described are the birth pangs of a new awareness, the moment when the city’s limitations yield to the countryside of imagination. You are asked to labour to bring forth a new Zion within, to step from the crowded streets of fear into the open field of possibility, even to Babylon if necessary, for there you are to learn that deliverance comes not by change of circumstance but by a change of consciousness. When you realize that the Lord—your own I AM, the still small voice—redeems you, the old enemy dissolves. The external exiles dissolve as you remain anchored in the truth that you are already whole, already free. In that recognition, the promised return is now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the I AM is the ruler of your life. Silently affirm, 'I am the king in Zion now,' and envision stepping from the city of limitation into a wide field of awareness where deliverance is already yours.
