Neville Goddard on Luke 4:41 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 4 in context

Scripture Focus

41And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

Luke 4:41

Biblical Context

Luke 4:41 shows demons proclaiming Jesus as the Christ and Jesus silencing them, illustrating inner truth overpowering noise. It points to the Christ within you—the I AM—that remains constant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the demons not as external beings but as thoughts and old assertions that surface when you enter a new level of awareness. They cry, 'Thou art Christ the Son of God' because the truth of who you are as I AM cannot stay hidden; it compels even the most resistant voice to acknowledge. Jesus' rebuke is not a denial of their confession but a boundary placed upon the noise. In Neville's method, the 'Son of God' stands for your own divine consciousness—the I AM that you are right now. The confessions show that your mind recognizes the truth of your spiritual identity even before your outer world aligns with it. The real work is not resisting the demons with willpower but refusing to let their talk redefine you. When you imagine yourself as the I AM, the old voices lose their persuasive power and withdraw.
