Presence in Prison Prosperity
Genesis 39:21-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Genesis 39:21-23, Joseph remains in prison, yet the Lord's presence fills the space with mercy and favor. Through inner union, he becomes the instrument by which the prison prospers.
Neville's Inner Vision
Joseph’s prison is not a place of isolation but a mirror of consciousness. 'The LORD was with him' is not a distant event but an inner alignment: the I AM was awakened in Joseph, and mercy followed because awareness itself is the dispenser of grace. When the keeper of the prison sees Joseph as the 'doer of it,' we glimpse Neville's law: a man is not defined by walls but by the state he harbors within. The words 'with him' signal a continuous fecund stream of life that makes every action prosper. Your outer world becomes a faithful reflection of your inner conviction. If you accept that God is within—your I AM, your awareness—you will discover that the most difficult circumstances yield to the imagination that assumes already that you are favored, trusted, and capable. Then, the keeper of your prison—the challenging situation, the limited habit, the fear—hands you over to your own inner authority. What you do is energized by the inner presence; the outer results follow with a natural ease, because you have claimed the creative life within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, rest in the sense 'I AM with me now.' Assume, in imagination, that you are favored, that the 'keeper' recognizes your inner leadership, and feel the activity prospering around you.
