Hearing God, Declaring the Soul
Psalms 66:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 66 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm invites those who fear God to hear a testimony of what God has done for the speaker’s soul, then to declare it with spoken praise. Prayer becomes praise as the inner movement is voiced.
Neville's Inner Vision
This psalm presents the inner work as a practice of awakening consciousness. The 'fear of God' marks alignment with the I AM; 'hear' invites you to listen to the inner state, while 'declare what He hath done for my soul' becomes a practiced assertion of inner transformation. 'I cried unto him with my mouth' signals an outward cry that actualizes an inner petition—assuming the truth until it feels real. 'He was extolled with my tongue' shows praise flowing from the certainty of the change. In Neville's terms, worship is not seeking; it is recognizing and verbally affirming the completed work of God within. If you want this for yourself, adopt the assumption that the I AM has already effected the good in your soul, speak it, and allow gratitude to rise until your outer life mirrors the inner triumph.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: 'I am hearing God within and declaring the work He has done for my soul.' Then silently repeat a brief praise line and feel the truth as your body settles into it.
