Inner Conquest and Rest

Joshua 11:21-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 11 in context

Scripture Focus

21And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
22There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
23So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
Joshua 11:21-23

Biblical Context

Joshua cuts off the Anakims from the mountains and takes the land; the land rests from war as Israel's inheritance is allotted.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's lens, the Anakims are the towering fears and stubborn beliefs that populate the hill country of your mind. Joshua’s act of cutting them off from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and all the mountains is the decisive shift of consciousness: a decision to stop permitting those giant doubts to govern your inner ground. When the text says there was none left in the land, it spiritualizes as the inner state where a belief is uprooted and the terrain of experience is freed. The land resting from war becomes the stillness that follows a complete revision inside, a mind at rest because the I AM has assumed mastery of the inner battlefield. The inheritance distributed by tribe to tribe represents the orderly alignment of your faculties—your desires, loyalties, and powers—within a covenantal life with the I AM. Providence follows this act as you dwell in divine awareness: your inner geography settles, and peace—Shalom—becomes the natural condition of daily experience as you recognize the Kingdom of God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and revise, 'I AM the conqueror of fear within me.' Feel the inner land settle as you declare the inheritance allotted, and rest in the awareness that the war is over.
