Prison to Promise: Inner Imagination
Genesis 39:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A master believes the false accusation spoken by a wife. Joseph is cast into the prison.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 39:19–20 becomes for Neville a map of inner states. The 'master' who is wrath and the 'wife' who speaks accusations are not external facts but movements of your own consciousness. When you 'hear' the words, the feeling of judgment rises and you fall into a mental prison—the sense that you are bound by circumstance. Yet the prison is only a belief, a state of attention you have forgotten you can shift. The I AM—your true awareness—remains free, unaffected by the outer scene. So you revise the moment: imagine you own the scene; declare that you are the righteousness of God, that this supposed verdict has no power to shape your being. Feel it, 'I am free now,' and see the door of the cell swing open as attention returns to the living truth within. Providence—guidance—enters not by changing people but by changing the state you inhabit. In this inner revision, imprisonment yields to a higher consciousness where you already walk in liberty.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM, the awareness behind the scene, speaking, 'I am free now.' Revise the outer event by picturing the prison door swinging open and your life flowing forth unbound.
