Scripture Focus

19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

20I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

21With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

22The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

24But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

27Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Psalms 89:19-37

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the vision of David’s rise, you are invited to see your own I AM as the mighty one chosen and established by God, not as a distant history but as your present state. The words 'I have laid help upon one that is mighty' translate to: I am placing active power within your I AM awareness. The anointing is not an event outside you; it is the awareness of your true nature. When you acknowledge 'Thou art my father, my God, the rock of my salvation,' you acknowledge the source within—an unwavering sanctuary that cannot be shaken by outer appearances. The covenant promises endure because your inner state remains faithful to itself; your throne is a symbol of the authority given by recognizing yourself as the I AM. Your seed and throne endure as the months and sun, because the inner law remains fixed. To live this is to let imagination restructure life, seeing the world as a reflection of your inner covenant.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare: 'I am the mighty one chosen; I am the I AM that seals a lasting covenant.' Feel the authority rising in you, and imagine the sea and rivers bowing to your hand.
