Balak's Offer: Inner Temptation

Numbers 22:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Numbers 22 in context

Scripture Focus

15And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
16And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
17For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
Numbers 22:15-17

Biblical Context

Balak sends emissaries to Balaam, offering great honor if Balaam curses the people; Balaam contemplates the offer as an inner moment of choice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Balak's offer is not a political move but an inner committee of desires. The princes symbolize the mind’s craving for social validation, wealth, and power, while the promise of great honor is the bait that would turn the I AM toward the world’s approval. In Neville's psychology, Balaam's decision to go with the messengers—or not—reveals that every invitation to curse is an invitation to divide your inner unity. The 'curse me this people' impulse is a projection of fear and control, a belief that prosperity comes by diminishing others. Yet the true reality is that the I AM is the source of all blessing, and you are always free to revise any imagined outcome. When you hear, 'I will promote you unto very great honour,' recognize it as a counterfeit currency—appearing as success, yet pulling you away from the living presence within. Trust the inner guidance, not the outer offer. Your real wealth is a present consciousness that cannot be bought, and by aligning with that truth you refuse the terms that would break your unity with God.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes, visualize Balak’s gilded offer as a mere thought-temptation, then declare I AM Prosperity now. Feel wealth and divine guidance as present, and reject any invitation to curse or trade your inner unity.
