Authority Over Unclean Spirits
Mark 1:26-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Mark 1:26-27 describes an unclean spirit being cast out by Jesus. The astonished crowd witnesses the authority and the dawning of a new doctrine.
Neville's Inner Vision
The scene is not in time but in your own consciousness. The unclean spirit is a belief or habit that says you are bound. When you, as I AM, command it to come out, the movement is not physical but a shift in your inner atmosphere. The crowd that marvels represents the awakened portion of your mind witnessing the effect of your new doctrine, the inner conviction that you are not ruled by fear or limitation. The authority that Jesus shows is your own I AM presence, the awareness that can order thoughts, feelings, and sensations. To experience it now, you must assume the state you desire as if it is already true. The tearing away is the old self clinging to the past, and its exit leaves space for the power and serenity of the divine within. This is deliverance, restoration of purity, a reclaiming of integrity. When you feel the power as if it is yours here and now, the unclean voice loses its grip, and others may notice the change as if a new doctrine has been born within you.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, declare I AM the ruler of my body and mind, revise every limiting belief, and feel the unclean spirit depart as the calm, authoritative presence of I AM fills you.
