Investiture Of Joshua's Spirit
Numbers 27:18-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 27 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
