Holy Ground, Inner Presence
Joshua 5:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The captain tells Joshua to remove his sandal because the spot is holy. He obeys, recognizing God’s presence in the place where he stands.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville's perspective, the captain is the voice of your I AM—the ruler within your consciousness. The instruction to shed the shoe is a release of every worn identity that keeps you from standing in holy presence. The ground is holy because you are now attending to the life that fills the space between your breath and your thoughts. Joshua's obedience mirrors your own decision to revise self-conception in light of inner command—distance collapses when you accept that God is not afar but within. The 'place' becomes sacred whenever the I AM asserts itself in the moment. When you heed the inner captain, you stand on a sacred ground of awareness, and guidance flows from within. Ground and separation dissolve as you acknowledge this living presence. Your life becomes a covenant act, a continuous alignment with the I AM that knows and moves through you. The path is interior; you walk it by recognizing that you already stand on holy ground.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and declare, I am on holy ground now. Visualize removing a belief as if taking off a shoe, and feel the I AM filling the space you stand in.
