Voiding Vows Within: Forgiveness
Numbers 30:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 30 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
On Numbers 30:12, a husband’s voice can nullify vows the moment he hears them. The text also says the Lord forgives.
Neville's Inner Vision
Numbers 30:12 invites us to hear that a vow may be voided by the inner authority that sits as the husband of your mind. In Neville's domain, such voiding is not a condemnation but a correction within consciousness: the vow is a mental commitment, and the inner ruler—the I AM awareness—can disallow it when it no longer serves. When the inner 'husband' declares void, the outward noise of the vow loses its binding power, and the record is cleared in the place where imagination forms reality. Yet the Lord—your deeper Self—forgives not because you failed, but because forgiveness is the natural state of a mind aligned with its true being. The event signals that you are free to choose again, to revise your aim, and to feel the forgiveness that accompanies alignment. Obedience in this view is fidelity to your essential self, not to rules external to your inner life. By acknowledging that the I AM is the source of all, you cast out fear and re-imprint your world with a new, harmonious intention.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the inner I AM as ruler; declare, 'I void this vow and revise my aim to serve my true self,' then feel forgiveness and new obedience flowing in.
