Our Lips Are Our Own
Psalms 12:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse exposes a mindset of self-sufficiency and pride, boasting that our lips are our own and asking who truly rules. It highlights the tension between outward speech and the inner lordship that governs reality.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this inner reading, the boast that our lips are our own is not a weapon of separation but a sign of a state of consciousness forgetful of the I AM. I teach that God is not outside commanding kingdoms but the awareness you inhabit. When you say you will prevail with your tongue, you reveal a belief that power resides in clever words rather than in the inner governor, the I AM that animates all you perceive. Pride and autonomy arise as mental images of control, yet they bind you to a limited sense of self. The moment you revise this scene by acknowledging that the Lord within is your sole source, your lips become instruments of alignment rather than conquest, and the world rearranges to reflect that inner sovereign. See your whole experience as a sign language of your inner state; change the state and the scenes obey. Your imagination, properly tended, becomes the true parliament of reality, and the question of lordship dissolves into the quiet certainty that you are the Lord within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the inner governor now and revise in your mind that the Lord within governs your words; feel the conviction in your chest as you declare that your lips are under divine lordship and that your desired outcome is already real.
