Inner Offerings, Inner Life
Numbers 15:8-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Numbers 15:8-10 describes offering a bullock with a flour–oil meat offering and a wine drink offering to accompany burnt offerings, vows, or peace offerings. In plain terms, it presents a complete act of worship that points inward to your relationship with the LORD within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the bullock stands for the I AM—your steady, self-aware consciousness you bring to any choice or vow. The meat offering, three tenths of flour mingled with oil, signifies disciplined thought blended with inner feeling, a nourishing habit you feed through conscious attention. The drink offering, half an hin of wine, is the fragrant mood you release when you acknowledge the Lord within, turning your inner atmosphere into a sweet savor. Read this as a map of inner practice: you do not barter with external ritual, but refine your inner state until it is fully aligned with your divine self. When you assume that your awareness is already complete, feed it with steady imagination and emotional conviction, and imagine the day as a temple where such offerings are made. In that act of revision and feel-it-real recognition, you fulfill covenant loyalty to the I AM and invite your life to reflect the harmony of that inner covenant.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are already the unassailable I AM, then imagine presenting this inner bullock, the flour/oil thoughts, and the wine mood as an offering in your temple. Feel it real by dwelling in gratitude for the fulfilled state you already inhabit.
