Inner Realms of Conquest

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe how Joshua 12:8 places conquest within a map of land, not merely armies. In Neville's sense, the mountains, valleys, plains, springs, wilderness, and south country become inner states of consciousness you must own with the I AM. Each region hosts a 'nation'—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites—standing as beliefs about lack, fear, limitation, or doubt within you. The sixfold landscape serves as a manual of spiritual warfare: doubt in the mountains of ambition, discouragement in the valleys, stagnation on the plains, rebellion at the springs, testing in the wilderness, and the desiring pull of the south country. Yet these are appearances in your dream; your true landowner is the I AM, the inner covenant you keep with your own awareness. When you accept you are the dreamer and imagination is causal, you do not fight the nations—you revise them. You imagine your life as already complete, affirming, 'I am the conqueror' in every region, dissolving the evidence of limitation. The inner king reigns through faithful trust in the kingdom within, where covenant loyalty is kept by the consistency of your assumed state.
