Inner Deliverance in Acts 8:7

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, the scene is not mere exorcism in time, but the removal of a false sense of self. The unclean spirits crying with loud voice symbolize persistent thoughts—fear, guilt, and limitation—that claim authority over you. When they depart, it is the conviction that you are defined by them dissolving. Those who were palsied and lame embody conditions of mind—habits, resignation, and dependence on outer power—beginning to loosen as the mind awakens to the I AM, the source of being. Healing follows as a natural rearrangement of consciousness, where vitality and mobility are already embedded in awareness. The power resides in the I AM imagining itself free, not in an external event you beg for. When you accept that you are the operator of appearances, you participate in the same divine movement that freed the possessed in Acts. The outward healing is the echo of an inward realization: you are already whole in the inner kingdom, and imagination makes it visible.
