Joshua 24:19 Inner Vigil

Joshua 24:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 24 in context

Scripture Focus

19And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
Joshua 24:19

Biblical Context

Joshua 24:19 warns that you cannot serve the LORD because He is holy and a jealous God; forgiveness is not granted apart from alignment with that holiness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's vision, the 'holy God' is the I AM within you—the unalterable Presence you awaken to when you stop negotiating with limitation. The verse does not condemn you to failure; it reveals the law by which your states of consciousness are measured. Holiness is not a distant standard but a steady, conscious alignment with your divine nature; jealousy is the insistence of that Presence to guard your true identity against every thought of separation. When Joshua says 'he will not forgive,' Neville would say: it is not external judgment but your own belief that you are a sinner apart from God-consciousness. The moment you decide that you are the one who cannot be forgiven, you create a split between you and the I AM, and forgiveness appears blocked. The cure is to revise your sense of self until you feel the I AM here, now, as your entire reality. Assumption, feeling it real, and revision of the past collapse the barrier between sin and forgiveness, revealing a seamless unity with God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume you are the I AM here and now, and softly repeat 'I am forgiven' until that truth fills your awareness; visualize a golden light sealing your inner boundaries.
