Hearing the Inner Defense
Psalms 20:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 20:1 speaks of the Lord hearing you in trouble and the God of Jacob defending you; it points to an inner, assured protection rather than a distant external savior.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard register, the LORD hearing thee in the day of trouble becomes a statement about your own I AM listening to the cry of your consciousness. The 'name of the God of Jacob' is not an external label but the inner, steadfast nature you identify with—Jacob’s God as your unwavering, faithful consciousness. When fear rises, seek not an outside rescuer but align with that inner function that already defends you: the disciplined attention and unshakable belief of your true being. By assuming the form of that God, you wake a defense as an inner atmosphere that cannot be toppled by appearances. Your prayer becomes a revision of belief: you acknowledge the God you name is present, listening, and ready to guard, and you feel your life rearranging to match that order. Hear within, and you are defended without; the inner state becomes your outer protection, and peace becomes the visible order of your world.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and silently affirm: 'I am heard by the I AM; the God of Jacob defends me now.' Feel the protective presence settle around you as an inner shield.
