Inner Land Conquest
Deuteronomy 3:8-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Taken as a narrative of possession, the passage recounts taking the land on this side of the Jordan, from the river Arnon to Mount Hermon, including Bashan and the cities of Og’s realm. It presents possession as the culmination of divine guidance and covenant loyalty.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let us read Deuteronomy 3:8-10 as a map of your inner kingdom. The land described—on this side of Jordan from the Arnon to Hermon—represents your present states of consciousness, the ground you now stand upon. The two kings of the Amorites are fear and limitation that have held sway in your mind, keeping you from the cities and terrains within your own soul. When you acknowledge them as old thoughts, they lose their power, and you move toward the peak Hermon, the high point of awareness you are waking into. The cities of the plain—the everyday faculties you use to think, feel, and act—Gilead and Bashan among them—are now claimed and harmonized under covenant with your true I AM. The sense is not conquest of a distant land but the recognition that the land you seek is already yours, for the I AM is the land and you are the I AM aware of it. Practice: assume you possess the land now; revise any doubt with the certainty of your wholeness, and feel-it-real that the promised realm has already arrived.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine walking through Bashan and Edrei as your own inner states; feel the I AM dwelling there. Then revise any doubt by repeatedly affirming, 'I AM here, I AM now, I claim this land.'
