From Old Beliefs to Inner Covenant
Joshua 24:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage recalls the ancestors dwelling beyond the flood and serving other gods, then describes God drawing Abraham from that past into a land of promise. It presents faith as a movement of consciousness from old limitation to covenant loyalty.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your inner theater, the Lord God of Israel is the I AM that feels, knows, and becomes. Your 'fathers' are the old, habitual you, the states of consciousness that dwelt on the far side of the flood—the beliefs you once treated as absolute. They served other gods when you believed you were separate from the One in whom you exist. Then comes the movement Joshua describes: I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood and led him through the land of Canaan, multiplying his seed and giving Isaac. This is not history; it is a psychological chart. The I AM draws your attention from the fear-based patterns into a new territory of awareness. Canaan represents the inner condition where you live from the assumption that you already possess what you seek. The multiplying seed is the blossoming of ideas, opportunities, and relationships that spring from that inner faith; Isaac is the tangible birth of your decided reality. The covenant is loyalty to that inner state—your continuous alignment with the I AM as your true nature, here, now, and always.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine stepping from the flood of old beliefs into a sunlit inner land named Canaan; softly declare, I AM the Lord of my consciousness, and Isaac is born in me now.
