Crossing Inner Jordan
Joshua 7:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 7 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
