Return to Your Inner Place
Numbers 24:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Balaam rises, returns to his place, and Balak goes his way; the outer scene ends and the mind settles once more into its inner place.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Numbers 24:25, Balaam and Balak are not two separate men but two aspects of your consciousness—the prophetic voice within and the urging of circumstance without. Balaam’s rise and speech are the inner assurance that a higher state is possible; Balak’s going his way is the outer scene’s concession to your new alignment. The final act—the return to his place—speaks not of retreat, but of establishing a fixed, known refuge: the I AM you are, the steady, thinking-feeling center behind every event. When you accept that you have already 'received' the blessing (or the resolution you seek), you cease bargaining with appearances and align with the truth of your inner state. Obedience and faithfulness here means repeatedly affirming the inner assumption until it feels natural. The prophecy and its promise are fulfilled within, shaping the outer chronicle so that the characters move on in peace. Wisdom and discernment show up as the choice to hold the inner scene intact while the outer fades into its own returning way. And faith and trust become the atmosphere that permits the departure to proceed, as you remain anchored in I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, on the next breath, assume you are already back in your inner place; watch Balaam and Balak depart and rest in the quiet certainty of I AM.
