Inner Encampment of Protection
Zechariah 9:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zechariah 9:8 speaks of God encamping around the temple of your life, securing it from oppression as the observer sees with divine awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Zechariah declares an uncrossable wall of awareness round the sanctuary of your life, and the watcher of the house is your own I AM. In Neville’s fashion, the army on the outside is but transient noise; what is real is the inner state you assume. When you permit yourself to dwell in the thought, 'I am encamped by the I AM,' you align with a consciousness that cannot be invaded by fear, by delay, or by the old habit of oppression. As you consciously identify with that indwelling guard, the passing crowd of conditions slows, and their sting becomes a mere occurrence within the field you observe. The verse’s eye—'for now have I seen with mine eyes'—is your decisive awakening: you, not external events, are the witness and governor of reality. Claim a still, protective circle around your mental house; imagine a ring of light, a guard of awareness that nothing untrue can penetrate while you inhabit the I AM. Your experience shifts from threat to inviolable presence.
Practice This Now
Assume the statement, 'I am encamped by the I AM,' and feel a circle of light surrounding your inner house; if fear surfaces, revise to that truth and observe how it calms the mind.
