14And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

Joshua 5:14

Biblical Context

Joshua 5:14 shows the LORD’s captain appearing to Joshua. Joshua falls to the ground in worship and asks what his lord would say to his servant; this reveals that true direction comes from aligning with the inner Presence rather than forcing outward action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the Captain of the LORD not as a distant figure, but as the very state of consciousness you name I AM. When Joshua falls on his face and worships, he does not beg for relief; he yields to the awareness that is already there, that commands the host within. The captain says I AM NOW COME—not coming to grant something outside, but awakening the inner order that makes all outward events possible. In your practice worship is alignment, a surrender of personal will to the knowing presence that governs your life. Your house, your days, and your sense of what is possible bend to the authority you cultivate in stillness. Faith, in this light, is not a mood but a state you enter until it becomes your habitual atmosphere. The LORD’s host within becomes your commander, your shield, your invitation to act from possibility. What saith my lord unto his servant? You answer I am here, ready to do thy will.

Practice This Now

In a moment of stillness, assume the Captain is already present as your I AM and let that inner presence direct your next step. Then quietly say what saith my lord unto his servant and feel the answer land as a certainty within you.
