Inner Ban, Inner Victory

Joshua 7:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 7 in context

Scripture Focus

1But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
Joshua 7:1

Biblical Context

Israel violated the ban when Achan took the accursed treasure. As a result, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

If you hear this story as history alone, you miss the living law: the camp represents your own consciousness, and the accursed thing is any belief in separation from the I AM. Achan’s act is the hidden consent within you to believe you can possess something apart from God, a substitute for the perfect unity of being. The moment that belief is entertained, the entire people in you feels the consequence— disturbance, fear, and a shrinking from fullness—mirroring the anger God feels when truth is ignored. The 'land' you seek is the steady experience of your own wholeness; the ban you must honor is the inner alignment with the I AM, not a ritual outwardly. When you discover the hidden thought that there is something outside of God to be gained, you revoke it by turning your attention back to your true nature and assuming that all is already given in the I AM. With that shift, the inner camp rests, and the journey into the land of abundance proceeds in harmony.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and revise the hidden belief of separation by affirming I am one with God; feel It Real that nothing is withheld from the I AM.
