Inner Gates, King Within
Psalms 24:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse calls you to lift the gates of your consciousness so the King of Glory can come in. It frames divine presence as entering through your inner state rather than external ritual.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalm 24:9 asks you to lift up your heads—the gates of your mind—so the King of Glory may come in. Remember: there is no separate temple apart from you; the I AM is the King who stands at your own door. The gates and doors are inner dispositions—the beliefs you admit, the fears you harbor, the habits you tolerate. To lift them is to refuse limitation and to choose a state of readiness: a consciousness that knows the presence of God is already there. When you imagine and declare, 'I am the King of Glory entering now,' you are not begging but aligning with the ruling reality of Christ within to occupy your inner space. The word becomes flesh as you inhabit it; your inner world reorganizes to reflect the authority you grant. This is not ceremony but the reintegration of state. Persist in this assumed state, and the outer world follows the inner order—majesty, authority, and peace enacted from within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you have already admitted the King of Glory; feel the sovereign stillness settle in your chest and hold that state for a few breaths.
