In Numbers 13:31, the spies declare they cannot defeat the inhabitants because they feel outmatched.
Neville's Inner Vision
Numbers 13:31 records not a distant event, but a reveal of your own inner state. The men speak from the memory of limitation, insisting the giants are stronger than you. Yet in truth the entire scene unfolds inside the consciousness you call I AM. The words 'we be not able' are a belief, a habit of thought that pretends to define your power by outward odds. The inner you—your awareness that never forsakes you—knows that 'stronger' is only a story told by a separated mind. When you accept the law that imagination creates, you can replace 'we cannot' with 'we are able' because the I AM is the fearless current running through all your states. The giants dissolve as you center your attention in the present I AM, and the land—your desired future—becomes accessible through faith that does not demand proof. This is obedience not to a dogma, but to the inner directive that you are one with power. The scene shifts from fear to confident exploration; the outer world merely reflects the inner alignment you have chosen to hold.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In stillness, revise the line to 'We are able to go up; the I AM in me is stronger than any obstacle,' and feel the certainty as real.
