Inner Sovereignty Unveiled
Psalms 97:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 97 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 97:9 declares the LORD stands high above the earth and above all gods; in Neville’s view, the earth and the gods are inner states that yield to the primacy of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this Psalm, the LORD is the I AM of your own consciousness, not a distant personality. To be high above the earth and exalted above all gods is not a geographical fact but a statement about where your attention and belief reside. The earth represents your present conditions; the gods are the rival ideas that seem to govern those conditions. When you claim that the I AM is supreme, you erase the sense that any limitation or external power can dictate your life. The verse invites you to perform a quiet revision: identify with the consciousness that remains unchanged while appearances rise and fall. In that state, imagination becomes the instrument by which reality aligns with truth—not by appealing to gods outside you, but by recognizing that your inner state is the source of all outward experience. If you feel beset by lack or fear, return your allegiance to the one sovereign I AM, exalted above every belief in lack or danger. Your world will reflect this inner sovereignty as you persist in the awareness that you are the throne on which all events turn.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: I AM the LORD within me, supreme over all appearances. Feel this truth as a lived reality and let your outer scene mirror your inner sovereignty.
