Face to Face with God Within

Exodus 33:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 33 in context

Scripture Focus

11And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
Exodus 33:11

Biblical Context

Exodus 33:11 portrays God speaking to Moses face to face, as one friend speaks to another, while Joshua remains in the tabernacle. The passage invites an inward model of intimate divine guidance within the soul.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, Moses represents the awakened self in communion with the I AM that I am. The phrase 'face to face' signals a dialogue where consciousness recognizes itself in the divine, not a distant event but a present, intimate conversation. The camp stands for the outward life—stories, duties, fears—while the tabernacle is the inner sanctuary where awareness listens. Joshua’s choice to stay in the tabernacle is your inner discipline, a steadfast dwelling in the presence rather than fleeing to the noise outside. When you reinterpret this moment, you realize that God’s voice is the voice of your own consciousness speaking as a friend—the I AM speaking through your imagination. The covenant loyalty emerges as you remain in inner contact, allowing guidance, discernment, and trust to unfold naturally. This is not about external ritual but about the persistent awareness that you are always in conversation with the divine within. The 'face to face' encounter becomes your steady state of being, shaping every choice from the inside out.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes, enter the inner tabernacle of your mind, and imagine the Lord speaking to you as a friend face to face. Stay there for a few minutes and feel the I AM replying in your own heart.
