Inner Crossing at Gilgal
Joshua 4:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage describes the Israelites crossing the Jordan and camping at Gilgal, where Joshua places twelve stones as a memorial.
Neville's Inner Vision
Crossing the Jordan is not a geographic event but a decision of consciousness. The Jordan images the unconscious current that pulls you toward old fears. When the people encamp in Gilgal and Joshua lays twelve stones, you are shown that a new term of awareness is fixed in your inner landscape. The twelve stones symbolize the twelve faculties of self; each is a reminder that you have moved from drift to decision, from external circumstance to a covenant stance. Gilgal is your present inner dwelling, a memorial of the moment you chose loyalty to I AM—the indwelling presence that does not change. The act speaks of obedience: follow the inner command and the walls of Jericho yield, not through outward force but through the steadfast faithfulness of consciousness. God, the I AM, is the awareness in which you dwell; its presence remains when stories about you shift. The outward encampment of Gilgal mirrors your inward agreement: you have crossed into a new state where what you desire becomes natural by assumption and feel-it-real revision.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you are standing in Gilgal, anchored in the I AM. Feel its reality until your life reflects a settled covenant and renewed obedience to this inner state.
