Inner Purity Under Temptation
Genesis 39:7-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joseph resists Potiphar's wife; he refuses to lie with her, citing his master's trust. He flees when she persists.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the scene marks a drama of your state of consciousness. Potiphar’s wife is the recurring temptation testing your ability to stay in the state you claim. Joseph’s reply is not a history lesson but a declaration: There is none greater in this house than I, for the house is your mind, and the master’s possessions are the images you have entrusted to awareness. The phrase sin against God points to the I AM; to harm the inner God is to yield to a picture that makes you small. The daily voice that asks Lie with me is the persistence of a former identity. His leaving the garment shows the necessity of letting go of the old self-image. Your task is to revise: assume you are the self that cannot be moved by any impulse, and feel it real now. In this moment, you are the inner governor, not the outward scene. Practice this by closing your eyes, breathing into the I AM, and affirming, I am the I AM, I stand in integrity, I am untouched by temptation.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you are the inner governor now; feel the I AM reigning in your mind and revise any tempting thought by declaring, 'I am pure, I am whole, I am free.'
