Neville Goddard on Psalms 44:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 44 in context

Scripture Focus

1We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

Psalms 44:1

Biblical Context

The verse states that people have heard about God's mighty acts from their fathers, the stories told of days long past.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Psalms 44:1 the speaker acknowledges that the works of God were once told to them by their fathers—voices from the past recounting what God did in 'the times of old.' In Neville's tongue, the 'fathers' are not external figures but the older states of consciousness you harbor as memories and habitual stories. God is the I AM within, and those ancient deeds become a clue that you can realize them now, in your present awareness. The 'hearing' is inner listening to a divine narrative alive in your mind; it proves that the power that moved in earlier days is available to you in this moment. Your task is to revise that memory into present fact: assume that God has acted in your life here and now. When you feel it real, the imagined deed collapses time and your world aligns with the fulfilled state. Do not cling to the past as distant history; let the past serve as a cue that consciousness can perform the works again. By aligning with I AM and using imagination, the old tales are made current and your life reflects their outcome.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, recall one of the deeds you heard about; in present tense, say, 'God has done this for me now.' Visualize a specific scene where the need is met and feel the relief as a present fact.
