Inner Strategy Of Joshua

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Joshua not as a man on a map but as the I AM within you, assembling the inner faculties (elders) and the crowds (the many aspects of your mind) to carry out a precise movement. The ambush between Bethel and Ai is the reserved action of your imagination, a quiet, strategic posture you take while the outer drama seems to rest. Lodging that night among the people signals that you mind your ordinary state—your habitual beliefs—while the real action happens in your inner sense. Early rising and counting the people is the discipline of conscious recognition: you name each capacity (will, imagination, discernment) and align them with your chosen outcome. Going forth to Ai with the elders is the decision to bring the plan before your entire consciousness. The movement is not external conquest but a rearrangement of belief, a covenant loyalty to the inner idea. Trust that your inner 'general staff' moves on schedule, and the so-called adversary is dissolved by the certainty you hold.
