Inner Choir of Asaph
Nehemiah 7:44 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records a group of singers—the children of Asaph—numbered 148. It highlights a dedicated worship role within the community.
Neville's Inner Vision
The verse reveals the inner choir within your mind: the children of Asaph are the inherited faculties of praise, aligned and counted to form a chorus of awareness. In Neville's psychology, places are dispositions and events are inner movements; this 148-voice orchestra signifies the complete harmony of your I AM when you dwell in a state of worshipful consciousness. When you assume the feeling that you are already that harmonious reality, your inner choir begins to sing in unison, projecting harmony into your work, relationships, and life. The number 148 can symbolize the totality of your inner capacities converging—100 for wholeness of mind, 40 for discipline through trial, and 8 for new beginnings—tuning your state until it resonates outwardly as unity and order. By keeping faith with the assumption that you are the singer and the I AM, you invite manifest harmony into form.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and envision an inner choir—the children of Asaph—composed of 148 balanced voices within you. Then affirm, with feeling, 'I am the harmony; I am one with the I AM,' and allow that sense to revise any sense of lack in your life.
