Scripture Focus

9And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

10And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.

Joshua 9:9-10

Biblical Context

In Joshua 9:9-10, distant travelers come under the LORD’s name, recounting mighty acts and seeking alliance, illustrating how recognition of divine power awakens trust and commitment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take Joshua 9:9-10 as a mirror of your own mind. The travelers who claim the LORD’s name are a symbol of awareness turning toward a power you already possess. The fame of what the LORD did in Egypt and against Sihon and Og is not history to be measured by time; it is the memory of your I AM waking to itself. In Neville’s terms, the land beyond Jordan represents the unseen possibilities just beyond the current disposition of your consciousness. When you recognize that the I AM within you has already performed those mighty acts, you invite trust, covenant loyalty, and providence to move through your day. The 'presence of God' is not an external visitor but the living awareness you identify as I AM. The Gibeonites' appeal to a distant past shows how a mind clings to familiar stories; your inner dialogue can choose a fresh covenant: you act not from fear but from the certainty that your inner king—your God-state—has already effected the victory.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and silently assume the state that has already accomplished the 'great deeds' within you. Feel the I AM as your immediate presence now; replay a scene of fulfillment in your mind for 5 minutes, then let trust guide your next action.
