In God's Generation of Righteousness
Psalms 14:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse asks whether the workers of iniquity have knowledge, for they harm God's people and ignore prayer. It affirms that God is present with the righteous, even amid fear.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville lens, the 'workers of iniquity' are stubborn states of mind that drain liberty and kindness from your inner world. They 'eat up my people' by consuming attention, energy, and vitality, feeding on a belief that life is scarce and hostile. 'Call not upon the LORD' is the habit of forgetfulness, the moment you abandon inner petition and the awareness of I AM. Yet in the generation of the righteous—the very place you now insist upon, the I AM presence—you discover that God is near. The 'great fear' of those who oppose evaporates when you know your own consciousness creates experience. The righteous are not a group apart but a state of awareness that God is your being, your life, and your action. By turning away from the belief that life occurs to you and instead assuming you are the one who commands reality, you prove Psalm 14:4-5 true in present experience: awareness of God, not external conditions, governs fear and power.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in silence and repeat, 'I am the I AM; I am the generation of the righteous.' Feel the presence as a living inner reality, and revise thoughts of attack by affirming 'God is within me now' until fear dissolves.
