I Am God: Inner Shield
Psalms 140:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 140 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist declares the LORD as their God and asks to be heard, acknowledging protection and strength in the day of conflict. It frames God as an inner reality, steadying the mind amid struggle.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this psalm, you are invited to identify the LORD with the I AM—the inner witness that knows and hears. When you say, 'Thou art my God,' you declare your current consciousness as the dwelling place of divinity. The request 'hear the voice of my supplications' becomes the act of turning attention toward the inner conditions you accept as true, listening to the thoughts and feelings that arise in response to your deepest longing. 'O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation' discloses that salvation is a power already resident in you now, not a distant rescue, and that this power steadies the psyche against friction. The line 'thou hast covered my head in the day of battle' speaks of mental protection—an invisible crown of calm and decisive thought that shields you in moments of pressure. Seen this way, the psalm is a manual: the battle is internal, and your sole weapon is the recognition and maintenance of the I AM. By abiding in that recognition, you rewrite experience from threat to triumph: the inner shield becomes your outer life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close eyes, and declare quietly 'I am God, my God'; then visualize a bright crown-like shield of light covering your head as you repeat 'I am heard, I am protected,' feeling the truth as real now.
