Inner Jerusalem Strength in God
Zechariah 12:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The governors declare, in their hearts, that strength comes from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, held up by the LORD. It is a call to inner reliance rather than outward power.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner governors—those commanding states of consciousness—learn that strength is not in outward events but in the inhabitants of your inner Jerusalem. When the inhabitants—faith, trust, courage, gratitude, and clarity—stand in your heart as your source, you are aligned with the LORD of hosts, the God within you. This alignment reveals Providence as your constant support; you need only cultivate the feeling that the inner city is strong now. Do not seek strength from others or from circumstances, but revise your assumption until your inner city hums with life. As you imagine this inward city bustling with the inhabitants’ steady presence, you will notice your external world responding to your changed state. The verse invites a practical shift: dwell in the awareness that the inhabitants of Jerusalem are your strength in God, here and now.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit in stillness and repeat the statement, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD my God,' until you feel the inner city steady. Then let that feeling of strength radiate outward and guide your choices.
