Inner Inheritance Warfare

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard lens, the decree is not about physical conquest but inner discrimination. The 'cities' your God-given inheritance are your states of consciousness, your habits of belief and desire that dwell within you. To 'save alive nothing that breatheth' is to refuse to nourish any thought, impulse, or feeling that supports fear, limitation, or the memory of the old world. 'utterly destroy them' becomes a relentless inner decision: uproot the recurrent patterns—the need for approval, the lure of idols, the habit of judging outcomes by lack—so that your present I AM remains unsullied. The line 'that they teach you not to do after all their abominations' becomes a warning not to adopt the former gods of doubt and dependency. By obeying the command of your God, the I AM, you prevent the old denominational stories of 'them' from teaching you how to think and feel. The result is covenant loyalty realized as a living state: you no longer identify with the old inheritance but awaken the awareness that shapes and governs all inner appearances. Practice: assume the feeling that you now live in your true state, and the imagined scenes reflect that coherence.
