Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard manner, the verse is not about external lands but about your inner state. The 'I will hear what God the LORD will speak' becomes your attention listening within: you, the I AM, are listening to the divine stillness that speaks peace into your consciousness. 'Peace unto his people' is the felt sense that your mind is settled, no longer torn by folly but aligned with a higher order. 'Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other' indicates inner constancy where gentle compassion and honest conviction coexist, and where right action follows a clear, quiet assurance. 'Truth shall spring out of the earth' signals new beliefs germinating in your inner soil, while 'righteousness looks down from heaven' is a view from a higher vantage point—awareness that your life is the visible fruit of inner alignment. The Lord's blessing—'good' given to you—manifests as profitable days and a safe inner land. 'Righteousness goes before you' means your decisions are guided by that inner righteousness, setting you on the steps of divine order.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, 'I am the I AM; peace now speaks through me.' Imagine walking a path laid by righteousness, with mercy and truth guiding every step, and feel the land within yield its increase.
