Daniel's Inner Lion Den

Daniel 6:21-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

21Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
22My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
23Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
Daniel 6:21-23

Biblical Context

Daniel tells the king he is safe because his God sent an angel and shut the lions' mouths; Daniel had done no harm, believed in God, and was saved.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel’s deliverance is your inner drama revealed. The king is the outer mind, the lions are the doubts pressing in, and the angel is the awakened I AM within you. When you feel innocent before God—when you consent to your inherent righteousness as your reality—your inner protector takes action. The mouths of the lions close because you no longer empower fear with belief; you simply know you are unhurt because you are one with God. This is not about luck, but about the state you inhabit. If you can say, 'I am innocent before God and man,' and truly feel that assumption, your den dissolves. The king’s gladness is the clear manifestation of your own inner verdict: you have returned to your true self, and any attack dissolves into your realized love. Daniel’s ascent from the den is your ascent from limitation, accomplished by conviction, not circumstance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the outcome: 'I am innocent before God; the I AM protects me now.' Visualize the den, see the lions calm, and feel the relief as you are unharmed, because you believe in God—right here, right now.
