Inner Command of Sun and Moon

Joshua 10:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 10 in context

Scripture Focus

12Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Joshua 10:12-13

Biblical Context

Joshua speaks to the LORD and commands the sun and moon to stand still so Israel can finish its victory. The sun and moon obey until the enemies are avenged.

Neville's Inner Vision

Like Joshua, you discover that the world obeys the consciousness that names it. The sun and moon are not mere celestial bodies but two great movements of attention—persistence and cadence—holding your moment of decision until your inner work is complete. When Joshua speaks to the LORD, he names a shifted state of being: a still mind, paused time, and an unwavering will. This is not a miracle happening outside you, but a demonstration that the I AM, your own awareness, can suspend the apparent march of circumstances in answer to a clear petition born from certainty. The 'enemy' to be avenged becomes fear, doubt, or a limiting belief. As you hold the image of stillness and speak from that I AM stance, you align with the providence within, and the scene bends to your inner decree. The moment of stillness is your inner diagnosis: you are not at the mercy of events, you are the imagining of events. Practice remains.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in the space of a few minutes, assume the feeling of 'Sun, stand still'—keep your attention steady on your focal issue until it yields. Then revise by declaring 'I AM the stillness that holds time' and imagine the outcome as settled.
