Slaying Balaam Within: Inner Prophecy
Joshua 13:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Balaam, the soothsayer, is slain by the Israelites in Joshua 13:22. The verse marks a judgment against false prophecy within the narrative.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the seeker, Balaam represents a fixed habit of thought—prophecy imagined as external fate. Israel’s sword is the light of awareness piercing the veil of prediction. The phrase ‘Balaam… did the children of Israel slay’ speaks to the inner act of the I AM, the higher self, dismantling the old dream that certain voices govern our lives. In this inner drama, the ‘people of God’ are disciplined thoughts in action, removing error and revealing the Kingdom as a present inner state. When you refuse to fear future predictions and instead affirm the I AM as your only reality, you enact a new standard: prophecy without fear, promise without projection, faith without doubt. The result is freedom from the tyranny of the seen world, a consciousness fully awake to its true sovereignty.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as the sole ruler of your inner landscape and revise every predicting voice as illusion. Feel the sword of awareness sever the Balaam within and dwell now in the promised land of truth.
