Genesis 39:9 Inner Resolve

Genesis 39:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 39 in context

Scripture Focus

9There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Genesis 39:9

Biblical Context

Joseph refuses Potiphar's wife and the temptation in his master's house, declaring integrity and loyalty. He frames the temptation as a sin against God, a failure to live in alignment with the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your inner life there is a house in which the I AM presides. Joseph's stand is not against a desire but a statement of sovereignty; the phrase none greater in this house indicates that your inner governor is supreme. The temptation to yield becomes a call to revise the belief that some image outside your consciousness can override this order. To sin against God is to attack the integrity of your own awareness. When you encounter a lure, remember that you are not ruled by outward circumstance but by the living I AM within. The practice is to keep the inner state intact, steadfastly aligning with the inner law. The moment of testing becomes a practice of fidelity, and fidelity to your inner I AM is the only true power you can exercise.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the mood of the I AM governing your inner house. Revise the moment of temptation by affirming there is none greater in this house than I and feel that sovereignty as real.
