Read Psalms 132 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 132:17 speaks of God signaling the budding of David's horn—symbolic power—and a lamp prepared for His anointed. It points to an inner, preparatory readiness for kingship and guidance within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the inner listener, Psalms 132:17 speaks of the horn of David budding and a lamp ordained for the anointed. In Neville’s key, this is not a historical event but a description of your present state of consciousness. The horn is your immutable power—think of it as the will and imagination quickened into action by awareness. The lamp is the guiding light of perception—attuning thoughts, feelings, and choices to the truth of I AM. When God declares that these will appear in you, He is reminding you that you are already the one who can crown experience with majesty by living from the end of your desire. The anointed is your true self, the Christ within, not a distant prince but the real you seen by the inward eye. As you dwell in the awareness that you are both of and within the kingdom, the inner horn begins to bud and the lamp to glow, drawing to you circumstances, relationships, and opportunities that corroborate your sovereign state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, declare, 'I AM the horn budding and the lamp lit for my anointed self,' and feel the power and light awaken within. For five minutes, imagine the lamp guiding your next decision as you act from that end-state.
