From Fear to Faith Within
Psalms 18:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses describe intense fear and peril as if death and danger surround the speaker. The deeper message is that these sensations are states of consciousness that can be revised by intent and inner awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
The lines speak of the sorrows of death and the floods of ungodly men encircling the speaker, yet these are not merely external threats but inner movements of the mind. In Neville's language, such fear is a state of consciousness, a dream of separation from the I AM. The 'snares of death' and the encircling waves are the habitual thoughts, memories, and beliefs that bind awareness to danger. You are not at the mercy of appearances; you are the I AM, the steadfast witness whose awareness imagines and dissolves the scene. By refusing to identify with the fear and by assuming a state of peace, you revise the inner weather. The moment you align with the truth, that God's life is your life and you are the consciousness that creates, the storm subsides and your inner kingdom remains untouched. The psalm becomes a map: awareness overcomes illusion when you dwell as the fearless I AM within.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I am the I AM, this fear is a dream; I choose peace now.' Feel the truth of safety as you breathe and let the imagined storm dissolve.
