Neville Goddard on Joshua 24:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 24 in context

Scripture Focus

15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Joshua 24:15

Biblical Context

Joshua challenges the people to decide who they will serve. He then states that he and his house will serve the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joshua’s charge is a mirror for your inner weather. The ‘gods’ on the other side of the flood are not distant idols so much as old states of consciousness you have permitted to claim sway within your mind. To choose whom you will serve is to settle which state you will entertain as real in this moment. When Joshua says, 'as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD,' he is naming a present inner commitment: a decision that the I AM, the LORD within, shall be the governing reality of your interior world. Serve means align your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with that truth, dismissing the counterfeit desires that masquerade as life. Your 'house' is your inner household—habits, identities, sensations—so take full responsibility for its worship. The inner act of worship is imagination rightly directed, and the law is simple: what you assume in feeling to be true becomes your life. If you feel other gods tugging at you, revise your self-speech until the I AM stands sovereign in every room.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise your inner state by declaring, 'I and my house serve the LORD now.' Then imagine the I AM filling every room of your inner house with light and let that feeling of worship be real in this moment.
