Entering the Inner Land by Faith
Numbers 20:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Moses and Aaron are told that their failure to believe and sanctify God in the sight of Israel prevents entering the land. The verse ties belief and sanctification to the ability to enter the promised territory.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville lens, this verse reveals that the ‘land’ is not a geographic destination but a state of consciousness you may enter. When it says you believed me not to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, it speaks of a mental posture: doubting the I AM and failing to honor God as the sole reality within your world. Moses and Aaron represent leadership within your own mind; their failure shows how disbelief in the I AM cuts you off from the inner promised land. The ‘land’ you seek is the state in which your dreams are realized—present, immediate, lived through imagination. Therefore, the remedy is simple: renew your belief, sanctify the I AM in your consciousness, and hold that sacred view until it becomes the texture of your days. When you align with the truth that God is the I AM within you, entry to the inner land is immediate and natural, not earned from without.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare: I believe the I AM; I sanctify God in my mind now. Feel the inner land as already mine, then rest in that state for a few breaths as if you have already entered.
