Purity Attracts Royal Favor
Proverbs 22:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says that loving purity of heart brings gracious speech, which earns the king's friendship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read as Neville would: the 'king' is the inner ruler of your own consciousness—the aspect that governs your life. When you choose purity of heart, you align your entire being with a state of integrity and decency, and your words become a seamless grace. The 'grace of his lips' is not a person’s favor but the natural perfume of a mind that has renewed itself. In this consciousness, the friend whom the king represents is your own inner authority, the portion of you that handles circumstance with ease. Therefore, any outer sign of friendship or favor you experience is merely the return of your inner endorsement: you have become the kind of person who speaks truth and love, and life responds with kingship and access. To practice, dwell in the assumption that your heart is pure and your words carry grace, and watch as situations and people re-align to reflect that state. Do not chase the king; hold fast to the feeling-state and observe the external in your life catching up to it.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat: I am pure of heart; my words carry grace; the king's friendship is mine now. Feel the reality of this assumed state and let it color your day.
