The I Am Chooses The Next Move
Judges 1:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
After Joshua's leadership fades, the people seek guidance from the LORD within to decide who will act first against the inner obstacles symbolized by the Canaanites.
Neville's Inner Vision
Judges 1:1 is not a history lesson but a map of your inner climate. When Joshua's state of leadership passes, the I AM asks within, 'Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first?' The Canaanites symbolize stubborn inner conditions—habits, fears, memories—that would resist your new creation. The question invites you to select the next act from within, to appoint the segment of your consciousness that will lead the advance. Do not seek an outer commander; recognize that the I AM itself is the one who moves. By consciously choosing, and then feeling yourself as already doing it, you imprint the desired move on the inner screen. The battle is between old limitation and new possibility, and the outcome is determined by your decision to allow the next act to proceed. When you answer with intention and feeling, the conquering energy awakens, and your outer life aligns with the inner victory.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and declare: 'I AM the one who goes up first.' Then visualize yourself stepping forward with confidence, defeating the inner Canaanites, and entering a state of already-completed victory.
