Inner Kingship in Psalms

Psalms 18:43-45 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 18 in context

Scripture Focus

43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
Psalms 18:43-45

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of God delivering the speaker from strife and elevating him to the head of the nations; it hints that inner authority becomes outward influence as consciousness is aligned.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's tone, these lines spotlight an inward conquest: the strivings of the people are the noisy thoughts and fears of the mind, and being made head of the heathen is the mind assuming sovereignty over habitual patterns. When you dwell as the I AM—the unconditioned awareness—you quiet the inner crowd and command obedience from your own thoughts and beliefs. The 'strangers' that hear of you and serve you symbolize limiting beliefs and external opinions that bow when the true self reveals its kingly authority. The fading away of strangers reflects the dissolution of old close-minded places of fear, as your consciousness remains steadfast in the assumed state. Deliverance comes not by battle outside but by redefining who you are inside; you are the sovereign you seek, and the world responds to the premise you hold. Practice this by daily assuming the state, feeling it as real, and letting the imagined authority reshape your responses until outward circumstances reflect your inner kingship.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume the state of I AM as sovereign of your inner realm; silently declare, 'I have delivered myself from strife and I reign over my inner nation.'
