Inner Covenant of the Mind
Joshua 24:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joshua made a formal covenant with the people and set a statute and ordinance in Shechem, establishing a definitive law for the community. The act binds loyalty and obedience as a shared commitment.
Neville's Inner Vision
See the scene as a psychic image. The people are states of consciousness gathered in one mind; Joshua's covenant is an inner decision to align with a new law written on the heart. Shechem is the inward center where you choose loyalty to the I AM over the habitual drift of thought. The statute and ordinance symbolize repeating inner patterns you commit to until they become your normal response. By making this decree within imagination, you end the scattering of conflicting desires and establish a stable governing principle. The act is not an external contract but a declaration of identity: I am aligned with the one Life, the I AM, and I am faithful to that law. When you maintain the feeling of the wish fulfilled and keep returning to this inner statute, the old vibrations yield, and the truth you chose begins to inform every moment. Your covenant grows into a living attitude—discipline, trust, steadfastness—that renders obedience effortless and your world compliant with your inner state.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, declare a single inner statute and repeat it until it feels real, then dwell in that felt state for several minutes.
