The Inner Hand Prevails
Exodus 17:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Moses lifts his hands in prayer while Joshua fights; when his hands stay up, Israel prevails, and when they lower, Amalek prevails; ultimately Aaron and Hur steady him with a stone so his hands remain firm until sunset.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s language, the hill is a seat of consciousness and Moses represents the I AM, keeping its attention fixed on the victory already imagined. Joshua’s fight with Amalek is the outer scene of your life; the moment your awareness holds the intention, the whole house of your experiences leans toward the desired outcome. Moses’ raised hands are not a gesture of pleading but a posture of faith—imagination held as fact, feeling the wish until it becomes your present experience. When his arms drop, the tide shifts: thought-energy loosens and the outer picture changes. The stone under him and Aaron and Hur supporting the arms symbolize inner faculties—steadiness, faith, and the continued cooperation of inner thoughts—that keep the vision alive despite weariness. The sun going down marks another phase, not defeat, indicating persistence until the inner resolution is complete. Your work is to entertain and maintain that elevated state, knowing you are already the source of the win. Victory follows when you refuse the lapse of attention and remain in the I AM.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, see yourself on the hill, lift your inner hand in the I AM, and feel the victory as already yours; invite Aaron and Hur—faith and steady attention—to hold your arms while you dwell in that state until the scene in your life reflects it.
