Scripture Focus

3And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

4And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.

5And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

Numbers 23:3-5

Biblical Context

In Numbers 23:3-5, Balaam goes to a high place and God meets him, giving him a prepared word to speak to Balak.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this tale the meeting is not a distant event but an inner summons of awareness. The high place is your ascent in consciousness; the seven altars symbolize the several states you attend to until a single, decisive word arises. When God places a word in Balaam's mouth, that is your imagination charged with a fixed decree—an inner spoken truth. The moment you assent to that word and speak it, you are not begging the world to change but allowing your I AM to reveal what already is present in consciousness. Returning to Balak to deliver the message mirrors how your inner conviction moves from quiet state into outward appearance; the world simply repeats the script you have chosen in your inner theatre. Embrace the practice: dwell in the end, feel the reality of the end now, and let the inner word guide your speech and actions. The Presence is not distant; it is the awakened I AM meeting you in the now and steering your voice toward its appointed end.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the end in your imagination by going to a high place and delivering the decree as already spoken. Feel it real now, and let that inner word shape your outward speech and actions.
