Inner Covenant Fire
Joshua 7:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage declares a severe consequence for keeping the accursed thing: the individual and all they own are burnt, because they broke the LORD's covenant and stirred folly in Israel.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the 'accursed thing' is a belief in separation from the one Life. The 'fire' is not punishment from an angry judge but the keen light of awareness that consumes any imagined idol of self-will. When you feel heaviness or fault clinging to your sense of self, you are witnessing the inner consequence of turning away from the covenant of the I AM. The 'folly in Israel' speaks to the multiplied thoughts and desires of your own psyche acting in rivalry to divine order. The remedy is interior loyalty: acknowledge the I AM as your true identity, revise the dream of separation, and align your imagination with universal law. As you continue to warm your mind with the conviction that you are wholly one with God, the inner fire purges the old image, and only the sovereign I AM remains active. In that moment, judgment dissolves into clarity, and life honors the covenant you quietly acknowledge within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you are perfectly loyal to the I AM here and now. Revise any sense of separation by declaring, 'I am one with God,' and feel the inner fire burn away the old belief until your mind rests in oneness.
