Undoing Inner Adversaries
Psalms 5:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the verse speaks of destroying enemies, but Neville's reading identifies 'them' as inner habits of rebellion against your divine I AM. When you assume a higher state and revise your inner thoughts, those old patterns collapse under their own faulty plans.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the Neville lens, 'Destroy thou them, O God' becomes a command to dismantle the old, unworkable self by surrendering to the I AM. The 'them' are not external beings but stubborn mental states that persist when you identify with limitation. 'Let them fall by their own counsels' means stop energizing them with attention; as you cease to support those thoughts, their logic frays and they crumble from within. 'Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions' invites you to cast out the belief that you are ruled by error, replacing it with the perception of a single divine order thriving in you. 'For they have rebelled against thee' points to the inner rebellion of the old self-state against your true nature. By choosing to identify with the I AM, you rewrite the scene: the law of imagination becomes your instrument, and every inner whisper of opposition returns to its source. Practically, you can dwell in the feeling of completeness, repeating, 'I am that I AM,' and observe how the outer circumstances rearrange themselves as the inner climate aligns with your chosen state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: close your eyes and quietly assume, 'I AM the I AM.' Revise the scene by letting the old inner opposition dissolve, while you feel a calm, unstoppable sense of wholeness.
