Inner Crossing of Jordan

Joshua 1:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 1 in context

Scripture Focus

11Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
12And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
Joshua 1:11-12

Biblical Context

Joshua instructs the people to prepare provisions and, in three days, cross the Jordan to possess the land the Lord is giving them. He then speaks to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh to align with this command.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your scripture is not a history lesson but a map of your consciousness. The host is your own awareness; the Jordan is the boundary you experience between what you are and what you are becoming. When Joshua orders 'Prepare you victuals,' he whispers to you that the inner state you will inhabit tomorrow must be fed today with definite pictures and steady feeling. The three days are a symbolic pause by which you align the three faculties of your being—the loyalty of Reuben, the steadfastness of Gad, and the expansive vision of Manasseh—so they march as one army under the Lord your God. The land you are told to possess is not a distant country but a realization of your inner kingdom already given by God—the I AM. Trust that the promise is yours, and the act of crossing Jordan is the moment you accept it inwardly, before any outward sign appears. In this light, obedience becomes faithfulness to your own awakened consciousness, and faith becomes a deliberate feeling that the land is yours here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine stepping across a luminous Jordan into a thriving inner landscape, whispering, 'I possess this land now.' Hold that feeling for a few breaths as a concrete act of assumption.
