Thanksgiving In The Inner Congregation
Psalms 35:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 35 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It is a vow to give thanks to God and to praise Him before a great assembly. The act of praise is spoken publicly among many people.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalm 35:18 speaks of a vow to give thanks and to praise in the great congregation. In Neville's language, the 'great congregation' is not a crowd of strangers; it is the inner audience that gathers within your own I AM, the awareness that stands behind every thought and feeling. Your act of gratitude is not a performance to please others, but a reorientation of your entire state of consciousness. When you assume gratitude now, you invite the inward multitude to witness your life as proof that imagination is the creator of form. The moment you feel thankful as if it already happened—praise in the inner hallways of your being—you align your mind with the reality you desire. The “public” display is simply the outer echo of an inward harmony: you are God in expression, and God cannot deny a grateful heart. Practice steady, vivid appreciation, and let your inner audience respond with calm assurance, knowing you have already taken your seat among those who praise.
Practice This Now
In a quiet moment, assume you are already among the inner congregation; say 'I give thanks now,' and feel the gratitude as your present state of consciousness.
