Quicken Me by Thy Word
Psalms 119:25-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 119 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm describes a soul weighed down by dust, seeking quickening through God's word. It asks for understanding of the precepts and for strength to endure heaviness.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the dust is not a place but a state of consciousness you have accepted about yourself. When you say, 'quicken thou me according to thy word,' you are not petitioning a distant God; you are shifting your inner identity to align with the Word you already are. I declare my ways and find the I AM answering within me, for the act of declaring is a revision of consciousness. Teach me thy statutes becomes the commitment to learn the laws I live by in thought and feeling. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts—this is the moment I talk of thy wondrous works, because imagination now obeys the precepts I cherish. When my soul melts under heaviness, I do not seek relief from without; I invoke the Word to strengthen me, and the strength flows from a known identity. The more I dwell in that inner Word, the more my life aligns with it, and the outer scene mirrors the inward order. I am quickened by the Word within.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of being quickened by the Word now. Repeat, 'I am quickened according to thy word' for a minute, and notice heaviness dissolve as your inner decree becomes your lived experience.
