Arise and Deliver: Inner Liberation
Psalms 17:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The speaker asks God to arise and deliver the soul from the wicked and from worldly foes who rely on earthly treasure. The verse contrasts divine deliverance with the security of the world.
Neville's Inner Vision
Not a prayer to a distant deity, but a turning of your own consciousness toward the I AM. Psalm 17:13–14 names the 'wicked' as those poised in the dream of world’s security—those who fill their bellies on hidden treasure and leave little for their babes. In Neville's world, such foes aren’t outside you; they are states of mind: fear, lack, the habit of grasping for external wealth as protection. When you 'arise' and 'deliver my soul,' you are awakening the inner governor—the I AM—that can disarm these false powers. The sword is not weapon but awareness, cutting through the belief that life depends on external abundance or on others' favor. Your deliverance comes as you reinterpret the scene: you already possess fullness in the hidden storehouse of consciousness; the outer world merely reflects your inner state. See yourself as the one who distributes your own treasure to heirs—your true heirs being peace, health, and provision that flow with effortless grace. Trust that the world’s loud claim on possession yields to the quiet reality that you are the possessor of your own reality.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, align with the I AM, and revise the scene as already accomplished: 'I am delivered; foes dissolve; wealth and protection are mine by divine right.' Then feel this reality sinking into your body.
