Neville Goddard on Joshua 2:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 2 in context

Scripture Focus

9And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

10For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

11And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

Joshua 2:9-11

Biblical Context

Rahab acknowledges that the LORD has given you the land and that the inhabitants’ fear has fallen on them. She declares that the LORD your God is God in heaven above and earth beneath.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joshua 2:9–11 becomes a map of inner awakening. Rahab’s confession that the LORD has given you the land mirrors the moment when a state of consciousness declares victory over the old fear-kingdom. The inhabitants’ fear melting is not about a distant army; it is the surrender of doubt in the mind that once believed in separation. When you hear, in imagination, of the Lord drying the Red Sea and defeating the kings, you are invited to receive these acts as your own remembered demonstrations. The verse teaches that the God of heaven and earth is the I AM within you, not out there in history. Your present awareness, when aligned with that I AM, makes the land—your desired condition—suddenly real, because the inner dispositions shift and the external scene follows. Do not seek proof in outer events; let the inner alignment be the proof. The fear of the world is simply the memory of separation from God; when you name yourself as the one God, the season of courage returns and your heart melts into confident trust.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already in possession of your desired condition; feel the land as present, consent to the I AM's ruling, and let fear melt. Rest in that feeling until it becomes your living memory.
