Inner Strength for Nehemiah 6:9
Nehemiah 6:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Nehemiah 6:9, opponents try to terrify the workers to stop the project; Nehemiah responds by praying for strength, trusting an inner power beyond fear.
Neville's Inner Vision
Fearful words are not armies of enemies but the mind’s attempt to reassign your future. When Nehemiah says, 'Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands,' he is announcing that the power to finish the wall rests in the I AM within him. You and I must see that the 'they' who threaten you are only reflections of an unsteady inner state. The secret is to dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, and to imagine your hands already strong, your project already secure. Imagination creates reality; by assuming the feeling of strength, you align your consciousness with the outcome you desire, and outward conditions bend to your inner state. The verse teaches inner sovereignty: you do not beg for strength from without but command it from within, through a steadfast, daily revision of fear into faith. As you persist in this inner posture, the act you are drawn to complete proceeds, not because the world approves, but because your inner state approves of the work.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and declare: I AM the strong, and my hands are strengthened now. Visualize the hands gripping tools, the wall rising under your care, and feel the quiet assurance that the work is already accomplished in your inner I AM.
