Inner Covenant Revisited
Numbers 32:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 32 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage warns that the people repeat their ancestors' sins, increasing the number of wrong-minded among Israel, which provokes God's anger; if they turn away from Him, He will abandon them in the wilderness and destroy the people.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your reading of Numbers 32:14–15 shows that the 'fathers' sins' are not external judgments but inner states you have inherited and fed. The increase of sinful men is the growing belief that you are bound by a pattern you cannot escape, which makes your inner anger appear as a divine command. The wilderness is the psychic condition of a mind that has forgotten its I AM and wandered into fear. To turn away after Him is to capitulate to that old script, letting the inner God seem to withdraw and life implode. The remedy is to return to the living truth: you are the I AM, the Lord of your own mind. Assume, now, that you are faithful to the One within, revise the old narrative, and feel-it-real the end-state where sin is a thing of the past and obedience and gratitude govern every moment. In that feeling, the wilderness vanishes and you dwell in your inner land of promise.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM' is your sole reality. Feel the inner covenant already active; revise the ancestral sin pattern by dwelling in the end-state and sustaining that feeling for a minute.
