Inner Covenant Conquest
Deuteronomy 20:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage instructs the people to utterly destroy the listed nations as commanded by the LORD their God.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the Neville ear, the six nations are not distant rivals but inner states of consciousness. The command to utterly destroy them becomes a symbolic act: it is the decision to end the ruling powers of fear, lack, comparison, and doubt that have kept your life in bondage. The LORD thy God is the I AM within you, the self that remembers its authority. The instruction is not a directive for violence in space but a call to obey the inner law of your own being. When you consent to inner conquest, the old habits dissolve and a land of holiness arises in your mind. The Canaan you inherit is the stable, faithful state in which you know yourself as the creator of your experience through imagination. Obedience and covenant loyalty show up as steadfast assumption: you remain faithful to the truth you affirm, not to the fears you once believed. Judgment here is inner accountability: revise the story, and you discover that the inner world rearranges itself to reflect your fidelity to the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume you already stand in the land where those inner enemies are dissolved. Repeat I AM free now and feel the truth as real.
