Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard manner, see Psalms 28:6-9 as a map of inner transformation. The 'LORD' you call upon is the I AM within – the conscious presence that supplies every resource. When you read 'The Lord is my strength and my shield,' understand that your own awareness provides both power and protection; your 'heart trusted in him' is your decision to trust your inner nature, not outer conditions. The 'anointed' refers to your refined state of being, the part of you consecrated to truth. To pray 'Save thy people' is to awaken the elements of consciousness that are asleep to their divine gift. 'Feed them' is to nourish the mind with inspired images and steadfast belief; 'lift them up for ever' is the rise of your awareness above fear into immutable, eternal I AM. Practically, enter a moment and assume you already possess this strength and protection; feel your heart celebrate with song, and persist in revision until your inner state 'is' salvation, blessing, feeding, and elevation.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the Lord’s strength and shield within your mind. Revise fear into trust, and feel the inner joy rise as you imagine the mind fed and raised forever.
