The Word in Your Mouth
Numbers 23:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God places a word in Balaam's mouth and instructs him to deliver that message to Balak. The verse highlights that prophetic speech arises from divine direction, not personal invention.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, Numbers 23:5 reveals a timeless truth: the word that moves the world is the spoken conviction already seated in your own I AM. Balaam did not conjure the message; he was a conduit through which the divine state could voice itself. In truth, you are not separate from that word. When you quiet the outward mind and assume the feeling that the inner decree is already yours, the LORD places a word in your mouth and you speak it as if it were your own thought given form. The appearance of Balak becomes the mirror to your own inner Balak—your fears, your cravings for control, your need to prove something to the world. When you answer with fidelity to the inner direction, you return unto the scene with a new balm: your speech aligns with truth, not with ego. The promise here is not about Balaam alone, but about the inner alignment whereby the I AM speaks through you, and your world changes to match that decree. Obedience to this inner Word is faithfulness to your true Self, and it manifests as clear, purposeful speech that feels inevitable and right.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, in the quiet, imagine a word forming in your mouth. Speak it aloud as if the divine directive were already spoken through you; then write or note the message.
