Soul Joy in the LORD
Psalms 35:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 35 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares the soul will be joyful in the LORD and rejoice in His salvation. It emphasizes an inner certainty of deliverance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine this: you are the I AM dwelling as the LORD within your own heart. Joy is not a prize to chase but a state to acknowledge, an inner realization that salvation is already at work in consciousness. When you affirm, 'My soul rejoices in the LORD,' you are not seeking a distant event; you are awakening to what is eternally true: the LORD's presence is your life, and inner deliverance is present now. The 'salvation' here is the calm restoration of mind—freed from fear, guilt, and separation—experienced as a radiant inner joy. As you persist in this recognition, your thoughts align with the feeling of being loved, protected, and guided by that divine I AM. The Psalms become a practical method: assume, revise, and feel it real, until the outer conditions reflect your inner harmony.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the feeling of being joyfully saved by the LORD now. Repeat: 'I am joy in the LORD; I am saved in this moment,' and let the emotion swell until it feels real.
