Inner Joy of Salvation
Habakkuk 3:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Habakkuk 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Habakkuk 3:18 expresses a deliberate choice to rejoice in the LORD and the God of salvation, regardless of outward circumstances. It frames joy as an inner conviction, not dependent on events.
Neville's Inner Vision
Habbakuk’s vow is not a complaint under pressure but a radical claim of consciousness. The LORD is the I AM within you, the steady awareness that never abandons you; the God of your salvation is the inner power by which you are already made whole. To rejoice is to align attention with that living presence, to act as if the promised salvation were already real here and now. When appearances argue otherwise, practice a simple mental revision: see the scene suffused with the light of your true state; feel gratitude for what is already true in consciousness; rest in the conviction that your world reflects your inner trust. This is not escape from life but the most direct engagement with it: imagination as the cause, sensation as the proof, and faith as the method. By choosing joy, you awaken the inner vision that births harmony, healing, and a life that corresponds to the consciousness you affirm. The so-called enemies dissolve when you recognize them as misperceptions of separation from the one power within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, repeat 'I am rejoicing in the LORD, the God of my salvation,' and feel the state as real now; envision a small scene reflecting inner salvation.
