Spear of Victory in Joshua 8:15-20
Joshua 8:15-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel pretends to be beaten and flees toward the wilderness, drawing Ai away. They then ambush the city, take it, and set it on fire; the smoke signals the outcome as pursuers are turned back.
Neville's Inner Vision
Observe how the outward drama is only the visible symbol of an inner turning point. The feigned defeat is a deliberate shift of attention, a decision to enter siege and pursuit to awaken the hidden power within. Your I AM—Joshua's spear—extends toward Ai as an act of unwavering imagination. When you fix the intention toward a desired state and stay with the feeling that it already is, you draw the ambush of unseen causes into view and the city opens to your intention. The ambush is not violence but alignment—your subconscious readiness, your revision of the scene, gearing the mind to act as if the victory is already secured. The smoke rising to heaven is the appearance of your new state showing up in the theatre of experience; the pursuers turning back signals that the old limiting story has been burned away. The lesson is simple: your present events answer the inner image you hold. If you dare to imagine and feel it real, you will witness the city you seek emerge from the ashes of the former scene.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume you are already in the city of your desired outcome; feel the warmth of victory, and repeat, 'I am the I AM; I give the order, and it unfolds.'
