Neville Goddard on Genesis 39:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 39 in context

Scripture Focus

22And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

Genesis 39:22

Biblical Context

Joseph is placed over all the prisoners, symbolizing that an inner governor governs the outward circumstances. The verse points to the mind's authority—the I AM that acts through your inner state shaping events.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here is the inner mechanism of life’s script: the keeper of the prison is the outer circumstance, but when Joseph is trusted, he becomes the agent of every act. This is a state of consciousness revealed: refuse to identify with fear and doubt; awaken the inner governor—my I AM awareness that is constant, unchanging. You will discover that the world answers to your inward direction. The prison is your mental conditioning; the prisoners are your impulses and habits. By abiding in the higher inner authority, you become the doer of what you perceive, acting through that inner faculty rather than by chance. Practice the steady assumption that you govern your conditions, and feel the truth in your chest, until the scene shifts to reflect your inner governance.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the governor of your mind and appoint your inner Joseph over this situation; feel the calm authority and act from that state today, no matter how small the step.
