Silence of Flattering Lips Within
Psalms 12:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states the LORD will cut off flattering lips and the proud tongue.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's frame, the 'LORD' is your I AM presence—the awareness that you are states of consciousness. Flattery and pride are movements of mind you have consented to, not judges from without. When you decide that the I AM is the sole ruler of your life, you cut off the power of those appetites and shut down the tongue that speaks proud things. The act of 'cutting off' is an inner revision: you refuse to identify with vanity and choose truth as your reality. Practice by imagining that your inner life is a quiet courtroom where honesty prevails and pride is dismissed. As you persist, the old talk loses its energy and simply vanishes from your experience. Your imagination then becomes the blacksmith that shapes a new self—one governed by justice, humility, and love. In this inward decree, you awaken to a world that mirrors your trusted I AM, and what seemed to be power in flattery falls away, leaving a luminous stillness where truth reigns.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, I AM the presence that governs me. Then revise any flattering or prideful thought by affirming I AM within and feel that truth as real in this moment.
