Awakening the Inner Deliverer
Lamentations 5:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents a lament: our fathers sinned and we bear the weight of their iniquities; rulers govern us and there is no obvious external deliverer.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner chamber of consciousness, this line is not about a distant people but about my state of being. 'Our fathers' are the memories and patterns I inherited—the mindset that sin and guilt persist. 'They sinned, and are not' signals that the old conditions have faded, yet I still feel their pull. 'We have borne their iniquities' speaks of carrying a heavy script of blame as if it is mine to shoulder. 'Servants have ruled over us' reveals the inner voices, habits, and pressures that seem to govern my choices; 'there is none that deliver us out of their hand' shows I have looked outside for relief, forgetting the deliverer dwells within the I AM. When I rest in the awareness that I AM, I can revise this scene: the old rulers dissolve as I recognize that no power governs me but my present state of consciousness. By assuming a new Self, liberty becomes present, and external forms reflect that inner deliverance.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I AM deliverer of my life.' Feel the chains dissolve and your inner deliverer take its place in present perception.
