Inner City Burned by Command
Joshua 8:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joshua 8:8 speaks of taking the city and then burning it by command. The act symbolizes releasing old patterns to align with a higher inner authority.
Neville's Inner Vision
Joshua 8:8 becomes a victory guide. Neville Goddard teaches that the city is a state of consciousness; by the I AM, imagine it burned away and your new self revealed. After you take the city, you are asked to burn it—an inner act of dissolving limiting beliefs so your true nature can shine. The LORD's command is the I AM within you speaking with authority; obedience is inner alignment, not external warfare. To obey is to hold the vision that you are already free, and the burning is the release of fear, doubt, and old stories, making room for a higher self. When you hear 'See, I have commanded you,' know that the command exists in your awareness. Practice by imagining the inner city as already taken and set aflame, feeling the victory as if it is real in your consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes; imagine the inner city burning by the I AM, feel the old beliefs fall away, and sense your renewed consciousness arising.
