Deliverance Through Upright Speech
Proverbs 12:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows that destructive words aim to harm, while the upright's words bring deliverance.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner reading, 'the words of the wicked' are not distant enemies but hostile states of consciousness whispering fear, doubt, and accusation. They lie in wait for blood by imagining catastrophe and pinning you to a verdict of danger. Yet 'the mouth of the upright shall deliver them' speaks of your higher self—the I AM in you—aligning your inner speech with truth. When you identify as the upright, you do not fight external forces; you become the living, perfect idea behind your circumstances. Your imagination acts as a deliverer, reversing the plot by declaring what is true for you in God: you are safe, moral order is at work, and perception changes as you assume that internal reality. The wicked words lose their sting when countered by the conviction that you are the one who speaks becomes the law in your consciousness. In practice, you dwell in the state of the upright until the sense of danger dissolves and right outcomes emerge.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the state of the upright and revise the inner dialogue by repeating, 'I AM delivers.' Feel the release as the inner words dissolve hostility and bring peace.
