Inner Covenant Witness Within
Joshua 24:22-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joshua declares that the people are witnesses against themselves that they have chosen the LORD to serve him. He then commands them to put away the strange gods and incline their hearts to the LORD God of Israel.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard lens, this text is a map of consciousness rather than a mere historical moment. 'Ye are witnesses against yourselves' signals that your inner states bear witness to whom you serve. The 'gods among you' are not fixed idols but habitual thoughts and feelings that contend for sovereignty within you. To 'incline your heart unto the LORD' is to reorient your inner atmosphere, to choose the I AM within as your governing state. The covenant becomes an act of self-recognition: you discover you already serve a Presence by imagining it into reality, by assuming the feeling of fidelity, and by refusing to entertain competing states that pretend to govern you. Removing the strange gods is a revision of inner dialogue, releasing fear, doubt, and attachment that block your chosen reality. When you stand as witness to yourself, you affirm the inner law: the continual image you hold in awareness births your outward experience. So lean into the I AM and let your heart be fully oriented toward that presence.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are the witness, declaring, 'I have chosen the LORD to serve,' and revise any competing gods by feeling your heart incline to I AM within. Carry that felt alignment into daily life.
