Inner Strength of Joshua 17:17

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse is not about geography but the state of your awareness. The house of Joseph represents the inner faculties of perception—Ephraim and Manasseh are your powers of discernment and resourcefulness. When Joshua speaks of a 'great people' and 'great power,' he is naming the living magnitude of your I AM presence when you refuse to accept limitation. The command 'thou shalt not have one lot only' is a directive to expand your inner allotments, to refuse to settle for a single circumstance or outcome. Your imagination is the granary of the soul, and your covenant loyalty is alignment with Creative Source. The moment you acknowledge that you are more than one possibility—the many streams of opportunity—you begin to partition new experiences into your inner landscape, not by force but by conviction. See yourself already possessing multiple 'lots'—care for the earth of your life as a steward, but do so from a consciousness that is not bound to fear. In this way, strength becomes an inner condition, and power flows through your decisions, balanced by discernment and righteous intention.
