Inner Kingdom Arrives

Luke 8:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 8 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
Luke 8:1-2

Biblical Context

Jesus travels city to village, preaching the good news of the kingdom. The twelve accompany him, and Mary Magdalene, who had been healed of seven devils, is named among those following him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner state is the city and the village; the kingdom is not a distant land but a felt shift in awareness. The twelve with him symbolize stable thoughts and habitual assumptions that follow the lead of consciousness. The women healed, especially Mary Magdalene, indicate the tender parts of soul freed from fear and memory-demons by the presence of your I AM. When you imagine the kingdom proclaimed within, the outward preaching becomes a natural expression of inner realization; your days are filled with the tidings you choose to accept. The seven devils leaving Mary’s life represent the release of multiple confusions: you revise old stories, forgive imagined slights, and allow a new feeling to take root. The "glad tidings of the kingdom" are not future news but a present sensation of wholeness entering your awareness. The scene teaches that healing comes through a shift of inner perception, not by changing external settings. As you dwell in the I AM—the awareness that you are and you become—the external becomes an echo of your inner victory.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state of wholeness; say quietly, 'The kingdom of God is within me now,' and feel that reality until it resonates through your body.
