Daniel's Lions Den Affirmation

Daniel 6:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

16Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
Daniel 6:16-17

Biblical Context

Daniel is cast into the den of lions, and the king proclaims that Daniel's God will deliver him. A stone is laid over the den’s mouth and sealed so the outcome seems fixed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel represents the state of trust that remains awake inside any trial. The den of lions is not a physical trap but an inner chamber of fear where consciousness forgets its I AM. The king’s declaration—‘Thy God… he will deliver thee’—is the inner decree you can adopt when you align with the assumption that awareness is the sole actor in your fate. The stone and seal symbolize the appearances that would persuade you that you are bound by circumstance; yet the I AM, expressed as faithful self, can move even stones by certainty. When you stand in this inner certainty, you no longer seek deliverance from without; you cease identifying with fear and watch the imagined outcome prove itself from within. You are the sovereign who seals nothing but your own declared state; your inner will dissolves the seeming end to reveal the unseen beginning.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I AM delivers me now; then imagine the den dissolving into light and the stone rolling away, the king's seal melting into air.
