Inner Exorcism and Self-Authority
Luke 11:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus is challenged about casting out demons; he reframes the issue by asking what power would cast them out if not Beelzebub. The verse implies accountability: the critic's own source of power is exposed by what they claim about him.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider Luke 11:19 as a doorway into the theater of your own mind. Beelzebub is not a man, but a counterfeit power you grant to the thoughts you fear. The devils are inner states—fear, doubt, habit—while the sons are other beliefs vying for control. If you allow a power outside you to cast them out, you remain under their jurisdiction and become their judge. When you acknowledge that all truly powerful change comes from the I AM—the conscious awareness within—your inner world begins to deliver itself. Deliverance, then, is a shift of assumption: you stop resisting externally and start inhabiting the reality that you are the ruler of your inner kingdom. The inner Jesus speaks through your awareness, and by honoring the I AM you align with liberation rather than struggle. You cast out not by force against others, but by the certainty that power resides in you now.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as the sole power in you. Revise the sense that devils rule your life by declaring I cast out every devil by the I AM, and feel it real.
