Inner Covenant, Outer Consequences
Joshua 22:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Achan's hidden trespass caused wrath to fall on all Israel; the whole people share the consequence of one secret fault.
Neville's Inner Vision
Joshua 22:20 speaks in earthly terms of a man named Achan who touched the accursed thing and brought fiery consequence upon all Israel. In Neville's house this is not history but a picture of the inner state: a single closed pocket of belief—fear, greed, pride—hidden within your awareness, and the entire body of your consciousness contracts around it. The 'wrath' you feel is the inner resistance of I AM to that mistaken sense of self apart from divine order. When you believe you can harbor a substitute for God in your life, you awaken a collective storm. The line between you and 'them' dissolves only when you realize there is no separate portion of you holding sin; all events reflect your dominant assumption. Therefore, the law is simple: shift the state, and the outward world shifts with it. The moment you refuse the 'accursed thing' and assume the sole truth of I AM—that you are the living covenant—the whole congregation updates its allegiance to harmony. Your imagination is the sacred tool; what you persist in imagining about yourself becomes your experience.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume the I AM is the sole governor of you; revise any hidden fear as a false belief by mentally declaring, 'I AM the covenant of harmony now.' Visualize your entire consciousness and environment renewing its alignment with that truth.
