Inner Covenant Crossing
Joshua 5:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel crosses the Jordan and the surrounding kings hear of it and fear the Lord's power. Then God instructs Joshua to circumcise the children of Israel again, and Joshua carries out the rite at the hill of the foreskins.
Neville's Inner Vision
Pay attention: the drying Jordan and the fear of the kings are not external phenomena to chase; they are indicators of your own state. When you choose to renew the covenant within—circumcising the old self—the inner current can pass freely into the land of your present fulfillment. The 'sharp knives' are the clarifying acts of imagination, the decision to cut away belief in lack, limitation, and separation from God. The hill of the foreskins becomes the inner hill where you stand as your true I AM, stripped of worn identities and aligned with the covenant that never fell away. The act is symbolic, yes, yet it is also an instruction in consciousness: you renew loyalty to the one power within, and that renewal changes what you see and endure. As you hold this inner alignment, the outer world changes to match it—the Jordan dries, the fear dissolves, and you walk into the land that your awareness has already created. The movement is inward; the miracle is your renewed consciousness.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quiet, place your hand on your heart and say, 'I am the I AM; I renew my covenant now.' Then imagine a sharp inner knife cutting away a worn fear-based story, and feel the old skin fall away as you affirm the new awareness.
