Neville Goddard on Daniel 9:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

3And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

4And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;

Daniel 9:3-4

Biblical Context

Daniel faces the Lord with prayer, supplication, and fasting, confessing loyalty to the covenant. He declares that mercy comes to those who love God and keep His commandments.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel’s gesture is not a ritual to appease an external deity; it is a decision of consciousness. He sets his face toward the Lord, the I AM, fixing attention on the one reality you and I inhabit. When he seeks by prayer and supplications, imagine him turning inside to the inner law of being and inviting those truths to become your experience. The fasting and sackcloth are symbols of letting go of outer identity; they are inner disciplines that clear space for the voice of truth. His confession restates the covenant: God keeps mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments. In Neville’s terms, mercy flows to the state of consciousness that has claimed the truth and stayed loyal to its own law. The scene becomes a practical method: plant the desired state in imagination, revise your self-image to match that state, and feel it real until your outer life reflects your inner alignment.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively set your face toward the I AM and declare the covenant is yours now. Revise your self-image to embody loyal faith and feel it real in your body and life.
