Psalms 86:15

Biblical Context

Psalm 86:15 describes God as compassionate, gracious, longsuffering, merciful, and true. In Neville's view, these become inner states you can embody as the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you stands the I AM, the very God of compassion, grace, patience, mercy, and truth. The verse is not about a distant deity; it is a portrait of your own consciousness. When you dwell in that self-knowledge, you revise anything contrary by affirming I AM compassionate, I AM gracious, I AM long-suffering, I AM merciful and true, and resting in that truth until it becomes your lived reality. Imagination is the instrument by which the inner order takes form; the world you behold is the outward display of that inward state. If fear or resentment arises, do not argue with it; simply assume the higher state and let it displace the lower. The mercy and truth the psalm sings are your constant resources, available now in your consciousness, enabling you to endure, forgive, and act with integrity. In this way Psalm 86:15 becomes a map for reviving your inner kingdom and aligning your outer experience with your divine nature.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and repeat I AM compassionate, I AM gracious, I AM long-suffering, I AM merciful and true until it feels like your living memory. Then walk forward from that state, noticing how the outer scene reflects your inner light.
