The Inner Inheritance Question
Joshua 17:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joseph's children come to Joshua, asking for more land because they are many and blessed. The one allotment feels like a test of covenant loyalty.
Neville's Inner Vision
All the world you see in that chapter is not land but consciousness. The children of Joseph represent a state of mind that has outgrown its single plot; their plea is the inner impulse to widen the arena of awareness, to claim a larger realm where blessing is not a memory but a present, living certainty. Joshua stands as your creative faculty, the forward-looking I AM that assigns forms, yet the power to assign comes from your inner belief. When they say, 'we are a great people,' they reveal a recognition of latent power, not vanity; the great power within you demands a broader inheritance that matches your growing sense of self. The Lord blessed me hitherto is a clue that you have been blessed by your past states of consciousness; now you must revise the self you are identifying with. Do not seek the land outside you; revise your sense of self so that the land is already yours in consciousness. Step into that larger portion by assuming it now, and feel the reality of your abundant provision.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, revise your sense of self by declaring, 'I now possess my full, inner inheritance.' Feel it real as you breathe, until the new state of consciousness is palpable.
