Darkness Between Foes: Inner Deliverance

Joshua 24:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 24 in context

Scripture Focus

7And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
Joshua 24:7

Biblical Context

They cried to the LORD, and He answered by placing a temporary darkness between them and their enemies, letting the sea sweep over the foes, and guiding them into a long wilderness of deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Recall that when you cry to the LORD you are signaling a change of state. Darkness between you and the Egyptians is a mental boundary that keeps fear at bay, while the sea rising against them is the energy of your imagination moving to dissolve the obstacle. What you call Egypt—those old sensations of lack or threat—are memories stirred by belief, not fixed facts. Your eyes may have seen wonders wrought in the past, but the true seeing occurs when you recognize that the I AM within you is the force that parts the clouds and washes away limitation. The wilderness represents the long inner season of awakening, a holding pattern until you wake to the fact that you are one with God, not its servant. The exodus, then, is inward: you shift from identifying with lack to consciously creating from your unified self. Deliverance is your realization that you are the creator, and the promised land is your present awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and name a current challenge as Egypt; picture a veil of darkness dropping between you and it, then envision a mighty sea rising to wash the whole scene away. End with the affirmation I AM.
