Dwelling Deep Within

Judges 1:32-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 1 in context

Scripture Focus

32But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
33Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them.
Judges 1:32-33

Biblical Context

The tribes fail to drive out the inhabitants, choosing to live among them. Consequently, the Canaanites become tributaries to them.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner life the Asherites and Naphtali are parts of you that refuse to be displaced, choosing to dwell among the old Canaanites. When you tolerate these influences, they become secret governors in your consciousness, and the inhabitants become tributaries to your attention and belief. The true presence of God is the I AM awareness within, not an external covenant; therefore the scene must shift by changing your state of consciousness. To change the field, you must revise the belief that some habit or fear can rule this land. Assume the end you desire—that all inner inhabitants have been driven out—and feel as though the land is free and ruled by the I AM. When you insist that you own the land and that no trait of limitation remains resident, the inner Canaanites fade. The moment you feel the end as real, new impulses and purposes arise, and the betrayals of old loyalties dissolve. This shift makes your present experience reflect a new image of sovereignty rather than a lingering compromise.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, close your eyes and assume the state that all inner inhabitants have been driven out; feel the land as sovereign under I AM and carry that feeling into your day.
