Inner Crown of Strength
Psalms 89:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 89 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God is the source of strength and favor, making our power rise; the Lord defends us and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read Psalm 89:17–18 through the Neville Goddard lens is to see that the glory of strength is not a public boast but a living state of consciousness. The horn of power is the inner capacity awakened when the I AM reveals itself as God; favor becomes a felt abundance of acceptance from the very consciousness you are. Exaltation follows as you dwell in this awareness, not as a result of luck but as a natural expression of your recognized state. The Lord as defense points to the steady, calm attention that guards your thoughts against fear, while the Holy One of Israel as king designates the inner ruler who decrees what you permit into your experience. When you live from this inner throne, you do not plead for protection but embody it; you do not seek approval but inhabit a sovereign right to life. If you persist in this awareness, your world aligns with the inner decree: strength rises, grace crowns you, defense remains, and you reign from within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state and revise any sense of lack. Say to yourself: 'I am the glory of strength; I am exalted by favor; I am defended by the Lord and ruled by the inner king.' Then feel that reality in your chest, letting fear dissolve.
