Neville Goddard on Nehemiah 9:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nehemiah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

5Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

6Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

Nehemiah 9:5-6

Biblical Context

Nehemiah 9:5-6 presents a corporate doxology where the Levites bless the Lord, acknowledging Him as the sole LORD who created heaven, earth, and seas, and whose sustaining power invites worship from heaven and earth. It frames worship as an inner acknowledgment of order, presence, and providence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the blessers do not praise an external Being apart from you. In Neville’s key, the act of blessing is the stirring of your own I AM into conscious activity. When the Levites stand and bless the LORD your God for ever, they are teaching you to stand in the awareness that the Lord is within you—the one Lord of all you perceive. The heaven and the earth, the seas and the hosts of heaven, are not distant realities but projections of your current state of consciousness. To declare that the Lord alone is God is to affirm that there is one power operating as you, the one I AM, preserving all that you acknowledge. The host of heaven that worships thee becomes the quiet inner faculties that respond to your elevated state with harmony, order, and guidance. By blessing this inner Lord, you shift your inner weather; you invite providence to express as your life pattern; you reorder your world by the conviction that you are the source, keeper, and steward of all that appears.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Stand in your quiet room and bless the LORD within; declare I am the Lord, the Creator and Preserver of all you behold, and feel that this is already true.
