Investiture Of Joshua's Spirit

Numbers 27:18-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Numbers 27 in context

Scripture Focus

18And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
20And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
Numbers 27:18-20

Biblical Context

Moses is commanded to take Joshua, lay hands on him publicly, and confer honor so that the people will obey him. The act frames leadership as an outward expression of an inner Spirit that must be recognized and honored.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joshua is not merely a man but the inner faculty of courage and faithful action awaiting recognition by your I AM. The command to lay hands is the moment you acknowledge an inner state that already exists—a spirit within you that wishes to act with wisdom before the crowd of appearances. The public setting is the psychic theater where your inner conviction becomes visible to yourself, so your outer life becomes obedient to the higher image you hold in the I AM. By placing honor on this inner Joshua—the Spirit-filled decision-maker—you align outer circumstances with your inner decree. The 'charge' is a revision, not a ritual; you are not commanding others but commanding your own inner obedience. When you honor the state within, the people and events around you respond as if they were obedient to that inner law. Your life becomes the demonstration of the I AM present and active, shaping behavior through awareness, imagination, and faithful practice.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner Joshua now. Visualize laying your hand on Joshua within, presenting him to Eleazar and the inner crowd, and feel the honor bestowed so obedience becomes your daily state.
