Neville Goddard on Luke 5:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 5 in context

Scripture Focus

25And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

26And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

Luke 5:25-26

Biblical Context

In Luke 5:25-26, immediately the man rises, takes up the bed he lay on, and goes home, glorifying God; the witnesses are amazed and glorify God, saying they have seen strange things today.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as your own inner life: the instant rise is the inner man waking. The bed he lifts represents the old limitation you have carried as the 'self'—now taken up into conscious action. He goes home, which signifies moving into your own field of consciousness, living out the realization where you are always already healed. The people who see him become witnesses to what you have declared: God is present here. Their awe and 'We have seen strange things today' mirror your recognition that the ordinary has been transfigured by the I AM. Healing, to Neville, is not a distant miracle but a present fact when you accept the inner state as your reality: the moment your mind asserts 'glorifying God' as your standard of life, the world bows to your assumed truth. In that present moment, the miraculous is ordinary, and all praise belongs to the I AM that you are.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume you have already risen in your healing; imagine carrying your bed into your house and glorifying God, and notice the inner awe mirrored back as you feel the room respond.
