Psalms 45:7

Biblical Context

Psalm 45:7 describes an inner state where you love righteousness and hate wickedness, and this alignment becomes the basis for an anointing of gladness that lifts your sense of self. It is a shift of consciousness, not a distant future event.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that Psalm 45:7 speaks of your present state of consciousness, not of a distant event. You, the I AM, love righteousness and refuse wickedness in every impulse and thought. When this stance becomes habitual, God, thy God—the awareness you are—anoints you with the oil of gladness. This oil is not an external token; it is a warming of your inner atmosphere, a joyous tone that lifts you above comparison and fear. The phrase above thy fellows becomes your felt reality: you stand crowned in a royal consciousness where justice, holiness, and mercy flow from your core. The kingdom is within; your thoughts align with truth, your feelings radiate confidence, and your choices reflect right relation. The anointing deepens as you persist in that alignment; imagination becomes the mechanism by which you experience it as fact. See yourself trusted, serene, and gracious, receiving this oil as your natural state, now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine the oil of gladness pouring over you as your natural state. Then declare I AM and dwell in that royal consciousness for a few minutes, letting imagination rewrite your sense of self.
