Reproach Recast: Inner Anointed
Psalms 89:50-51 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 89 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist speaks of bearing the reproach of the servants and the mighty, and asks God to remember the burden and the mockery cast against the Lord's anointed.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville lens, this is not about outer enemies but a sea of inner weather. Reproach is a state of thought you have allowed to linger; the 'servants' and 'mighty' are inner attitudes, while the 'anointed' is your true I AM—the king within you who walks the true path when you align with God. To say 'remember' is to call back a consciousness that you already dwell in the divine presence; it is not a plea but a decision: I am the beloved of the Father, unshaken by others' judgments. The reproach you bear dissolves when you revise the assumption and declare, 'The footsteps of the anointed are my inward movement toward light; the world’s cries cannot alter my standing in God.' Each criticism becomes a signal to refine your inner state rather than to prove a fault in you. When you refuse to feed the old story and instead live from the I AM, you reconstruct reality. The psalm invites you to maintain the inner king's posture and let that conviction authorize every step you take.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine the inner king—your authentic I AM—hearing the reproachful voices and simply replying, 'I am.' Then revise the scene by affirming, 'These voices cannot reach the light I am, for I am in God.'
