Inner Borders of the Kingdom

Joshua 13:2-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 13 in context

Scripture Focus

2This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
3From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
4From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
5And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
Joshua 13:2-5

Biblical Context

Joshua 13:2-5 lists the land that remains to be possessed and describes its borders. It presents a geographic map that symbolically mirrors the inner boundaries of the heart and mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

That which Joshua calls the land yet remaining is not a parcel of earth but a map of your inner kingdom awaiting your recognition. The borders—Philistines, Geshuri, Sidonians, Amorites, Lebanon, Hermon—are the habitual regions of your consciousness where certain states hold sway. They are not foreign powers but orientations of mind you have not yet consented to redraw in accord with the I AM. When you abide in the I AM, you cease to argue with the outer world and begin to align your inner geography with covenant loyalty. Providence appears as a guiding, inner wind that moves your attention toward the edges of limitation and toward the high mountains of awareness; you see the northern border as the expanding horizon of possibility, the southern border as the roots of your past dissolving. The “land of the Giblites” and the lands beyond become symbols of unity with the whole, a reminder that you are part of a single Kingdom with a single ruler—your true I AM. Claiming this land is simply waking to what you already are: the one consciousness that exists beyond time and space.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM the Lord of this inner land.' Then imagine tracing the borders on your mental map from Sihor to Hamath, feeling the old edges dissolve as you claim your entire inner territory.
