Unshaken Vision of Inner Victory
Joshua 8:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joshua did not draw back his hand or spear until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai, symbolizing unwavering commitment to finish the inner task.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine Joshua not as a conqueror outside of you, but as the I AM in you, the fixed awareness that refuses to waver until every inner obstacle is dissolved. The spear, kept stretched, is your persistent focus of attention, the decision you do not reverse. Ai is not a city on a map but a state of mind you once believed governed you—fear, doubt, habit, limitation. By not drawing back, you prove to consciousness that you will not return to those concessions; you press forward until you have utterly dissolved the inhabitants of that inner state. The act is not brutality but the clarity of your one-pointed imagination; the outer result follows the verdict of your inner decree. When imagination holds this unwavering line, the outer world aligns with the new state of being—habit erodes, possibilities open, and a sense of Providence guides your steps. Remember, you are the I AM; the vision you hold creates the life you live.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner state as already complete: keep the vision fixed for several minutes, breathe, and feel it real until the sense of the old pattern dissolves.
