Inner Crossing to Divine Presence

Joshua 4:15-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 4 in context

Scripture Focus

15And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
16Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
17Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
18And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
Joshua 4:15-18

Biblical Context

The Lord commands the priests bearing the Ark to come up out of the Jordan; as they rise to dry land, the waters return to their banks, marking a shift from limitation to a realized state of presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the Jordan as your old conditioning, the flow of lack and fear. The ark of the covenant is your I AM—your constant awareness bearing the sacred covenant. When the priests bearing the ark are told to come up out of Jordan, you align with the I AM and lift your attention from the current of doubt. As you intentionally rise in imagination and permit the dry ground of presence to appear, the waters recede to their banks and the scene returns to normal, now with the miracle of your realized state. The event is inner: your assumption becomes fact, your revision becomes memory, and your feeling-as-if-real seals the transition. So stand, in feeling, on dry ground; know you are where you have always been: in the presence of God, the I AM, the ark that alters the ocean of seeming.

Practice This Now

Imagination practice: assume you are already on dry ground, bearing your ark of awareness; revise and feel, 'The Jordan has withdrawn; I am in the presence of God now,' and let that reality fill you.
