Neville Goddard on Luke 7:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 7 in context

Scripture Focus

11And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

12Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

Luke 7:11-12

Biblical Context

Jesus arrives in Nain with a crowd, where a widow mourns her only son being carried out; the scene shifts from communal grief to a miraculous act of mercy that restores life.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Luke 7:11-12, the gate is the threshold of your own awareness. The widow’s sorrow represents the outward sense of loss you are holding, and the dead son signifies a vitality you assume is gone. Yet the I AM—your unchanging consciousness—steps into the scene as the operation of life itself, awakening what seems buried. The surrounding crowd mirrors your habitual beliefs and opinions, but true power lies in your inner recognition that you are the I AM. When you identify with this eternal presence, the dead state breathes again and life moves toward you. The miracle is an inward resurrection: by choosing to identify with life rather than loss, you invite restoration into your experience. This is not about external events alone; it is about a deliberate inner decision to stand as the I AM and let life respond through you, restoring harmony, purpose, and wholeness from within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the I AM at the gate of your consciousness and feel the life returning to what you believed was dead. Dwell in that restoration until your inner picture shifts.
