Silent Consent of the Inner Covenant
Numbers 30:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 30 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that when a husband hears and remains silent, a wife's vows stand; the inner equivalent is that our own commitments endure when the inner authority does not rebuke them.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, Numbers 30:11 speaks of the inner law, where the state of consciousness grants consent. The husband is the inner will, the silent judge who does not resist when you decide. A vow is a fixed mental state, a decision you anchor in your mind. When this inner authority hears and remains quiet, it does not veto; it confirms. Then every vow you form stands because you have not contradicted it with inner resistance. The bonds with which you bind your soul are not external chains but your own ideas of limitation. Therefore, the moment you assume the state of commitment and align with it through the I AM presence, the vow becomes real and self-sustaining. Your outer life will reflect this inner alignment as sure as a garden follows the sun. The law is faithfulness to your inward decision, not the pressure of opinion. Practice: dwell in the feeling that you are already in possession of the fulfilled vow; revise any thought that denies it; permit the silent inner consent to govern.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of your inner husband—the quiet consent of your I AM. Repeat softly, 'I approve this vow; it stands in me now; I feel it real.'
