Inner City of God Emerges
Psalms 87:3-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 87 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 87:3-7 speaks of the city of God as a birthright within the soul, where Zion is established by the Highest. It asserts that divine life flows from within, and that outward identities are secondary to one’s inner origin.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the 'city of God' as a fixed state of awareness in which you live, move, and have your being. Zion is the inner sanctuary your I AM establishes, a birthplace you claim by turning from lack to the conviction that life and power flow from within. When the verse speaks of 'this man was born there,' hear it as your own decision to be born anew in consciousness, not to be bound by outward labels. The names Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia are encounters with old conditions your mind permits as real; you acknowledge them and return to the truth that the inner Zion makes them irrelevant. 'All my springs are in thee' is a declaration of vitality sourced in your inner life, not a center of supply outside you. As you rest in that inner state, the I AM—your highest self—establishes it, and the symphony of life (singers and players) arises as the natural accompaniment of that undisturbed spring.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume: I am born in Zion; all my springs are in thee. Feel it real and let this inner birth color every thought, word, and deed today.
