Armed Faith Crossing
Joshua 4:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The tribes Reuben, Gad, and half-Manasseh cross ahead with weapons, about forty thousand prepared for war, as Moses commanded, moving before the LORD toward Jericho.
Neville's Inner Vision
The crossing is an inner act. It is not a march of outward troops but a movement of states of consciousness, each part of you stepping under the command of your I AM. The armed multitude symbolizes the fullness of your faculties—memory, imagination, will, and feeling—cleared and prepared to meet the challenge represented by Jericho. When you hear the inner Moses, you obey by assuming a present state of readiness and trust in divine guidance. God is not an exterior deity; He is the Presence within you—the I AM that you are aware of in this moment. By recognizing that you already possess the power to prevail, you invite Providence to unfold through you, not by struggle but by alignment. Practice living as the conqueror in your inner Jericho, and outward results follow from inner certainty and obedience to the inner command.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already prepared for the next ‘Jericho’ in your life. In present-tense, affirm, 'I am prepared, I am guided, I move now in alignment with God within me.'
