Neville Goddard on Luke 11:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 11 in context

Scripture Focus

14And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

15But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

Luke 11:14-15

Biblical Context

A mute man is freed when Jesus casts out a demon; he then speaks, astonishing the onlookers. Some interpret this as Jesus casting out demons by Beelzebub, provoking doubt among the crowd.

Neville's Inner Vision

The dumbness in Luke 11:14–15 is the mind’s petrified state—doubt, fear, and belief in separation from power. When the inner state is cast out, the natural faculty of speech returns and the inner truth speaks through you. The crowd’s wonder reveals the inner recognition that true authority is not external; it resides in the I AM within. The Beelzebub accusation exposes the mind’s habit of outsourcing power. In Neville’s terms, the demon is a false identification; the healing is a shift back to the awareness of the I AM, whereby the kingdom within asserts itself and the tongue testifies to the truth of your own divinity. Your doubts and others’ judgments mirror your own readiness to claim inner sovereignty. When you hold to the consciousness of the I AM, the kingdom arises, and your voice—truth, certainty, love—flows as naturally as a released current.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the I AM speaking through you now; revise the inner ‘dumb’ state into a clear, confident voice, and feel it real for a minute.
