Joy Of Inner Salvation
Psalms 51:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 51 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse pleads for the joy of salvation to be restored. It also asks to be upheld by a free, unbound spirit.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the psalm, the I AM within you speaks through David as you. The I AM within you is the observer; Joy is the memory of your true nature as one with salvation. The 'restoration' is a revision of your present state, not a future event: you awaken to the inner salvation you already possess and let the 'free spirit'—the unfettered activity of awareness—uphold you. When you step into the assumption that you are already saved, you invite the feeling of gratitude, peace, and lively praise to rise as if they were your natural condition. This inner mood attracts circumstances that reflect your realized state; forgiveness is not imposed from without but released from within, as you cease identifying with lack or guilt. God, for Neville, is the I AM here and now—your own consciousness that never leaves you. By tending this awareness, you become the living proof of salvation, and the joyous presence of the divine becomes the atmosphere you breathe in every moment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume you are already joyful and upheld by the free spirit. Feel the emotion as real now and repeat the affirmation, 'I am restored to the joy of salvation,' until your inner atmosphere shifts.
