Crossing Inner Jordan

Joshua 7:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 7 in context

Scripture Focus

7And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
Joshua 7:7-9

Biblical Context

Joshua laments defeat and asks why God brought them over the Jordan, fearing the plan has failed. He worries that their enemies will hear of the defeat and erase Israel's name.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joshua speaks as a state of consciousness doubting its power. Crossing the Jordan marks a shift to a new condition of awareness; the enemy is fear, doubt, and the habit of old stories. The complaint that the people are delivered into the Amorites expresses the belief that awareness could be conquered, that the I AM could be outmaneuvered. The cry 'what wilt thou do unto thy great name?' is a call to align with the I AM within, the one true consciousness that cannot be touched by outer defeat. The path is not to plead for better circumstances but to revise the scene from the inside: assume you already possess the land of your desired state, feel the victory, and keep the covenant of loyalty to the I AM. When you live as if the inner name remains unscathed by any outer condition, the imagined enemies melt away and your outer world reflects that inward alignment. The crisis becomes clarity, and the nation rises from within as your awareness holds firm.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and revise the scene by declaring 'I am the I AM; I have already crossed the Jordan and possess the land,' and feel that victory now for five minutes.
