Joel 2:6-7 Inner Strength Rising
Joel 2:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joel 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joel 2:6-7 paints a scene of a fearful people whose faces darken as they move in disciplined ranks. In Neville's view, this is a symbol of inner states and the power of imagination to rewrite them.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Joel 2:6-7 as a map of your inner realm. The face-darkening crowd is your fear-state, a belief you have accepted as real. The 'they shall run like mighty men' is the surge of a new assumption, the mind’s energy when you decide who you are. The wall is the boundary of your present identity; climbing it signifies crossing into a different self-conception. And 'they shall not break their ranks' points to the stubborn pattern of habit you pledge to hold as truth unless you revise it with a higher I AM. In Neville's terms, you are not observing a conquered land; you are the I AM witnessing a dream of limitation and then declaring a different ending. By assuming a state of consciousness in which you prevail, by feeling it as real and already completed, the inner movements reorder themselves and manifest as outer form. The fear remains only until your inner man awakens; once you meet the inner witness—God, the I AM—with your new acceptance, the army dissolves into orderly peace.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the I AM as the author of the scene and revise the crowd’s fear into calm, confident movement. Feel the victory as already yours.
