Inner Encampment of Protection

Zechariah 9:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

8And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
Zechariah 9:8

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.
