Inner House Kept by I AM

Luke 11:24-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 11 in context

Scripture Focus

24When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Luke 11:24-28

Biblical Context

The passage shows that removing an unwanted spirit without filling the mind leaves room for worse states. True renewal comes when the Word of God is heard and kept.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the unclean spirit as a mis-tuned habit of consciousness, a thought-form that once afflicted you. When it leaves, it wanders through dry places within your mind, seeking rest in an empty chamber. If you do not fill that chamber with the truth, the mind will attract other tenants—patterns more subtle and stubborn—so that the final condition becomes worse than the first. The sweep and garnishing are not the end but the stage upon which you must assume a new resident. The woman's praise and Jesus' correction illuminate the practical law: hear the word of God and keep it. Hear it not as literature but as the living I AM, your true self, which thoughts can align with only by choice. To keep it is to dwell in that state, to revise the moment you fall back into lack, and to feel the presence as real. Now, you can test this by imagining the mind wholly occupied by the I AM, and let that conscious occupation govern every thought.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are the I AM, fully occupying the mind; when a restless thought returns, revise it with, 'I AM peace within me,' and feel that calm filling every corner.
