Inward Deliverance Amid Adversity
Psalms 71:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 71 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist faces enemies who conspire against him and claim God has forsaken him, urging his pursuit and defeat. It portrays a mental drama of abandonment that can be rewritten.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's lens, the voices 'mine enemies speak against me' and 'God hath forsaken him' are not about others but about your own state of consciousness. Enemies are the mental claims of lack, fear, and seeming abandonment that arise when you forget the I AM. The I AM is the constant presence that animates every thought; it does not abandon you. To reinterpret, assume now that you are the I AM, and that awareness is delivering you even as the words form. The scene changes from attack to invitation: the whisper to persecute becomes a reminder to return to the one reality, your inner ruler, the Providence that leads you. As you dwell in the awareness of the I AM—feeling it real, seeing the inner light rewrite the scene—you displace the sense of being forsaken. The 'none to deliver' line dissolves as you acknowledge that the I AM is your deliverer, guiding you through every trial. This is not denial of suffering but a transformation of it into an inner certainty of protection and presence.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the line God hath not forsaken me; I am kept by the I AM here and now. Feel it as present reality, then revise the inner scene so the whispers fade and deliverance appears as already present.
