Neville Goddard on Mark 1:29-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 1 in context

Scripture Focus

29And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

31And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

Mark 1:29-31

Biblical Context

Jesus, after leaving the synagogue, goes to Simon and Andrew's house where Peter's mother-in-law is ill. He takes her by the hand, lifts her up, and the fever leaves; she then serves them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Mark 1:29-31 is not about an external miracle alone, but a demonstration of your own inner states. The fevered mother-in-law represents restless thought and limitation. In taking her by the hand and lifting her up, you decide to stop feeding the fever with attention and identify with a higher state—the I AM you are. The fever vanishes the moment you acknowledge and dwell in this truth. Her serving afterward is the fruit: when the inner rooms are quiet and restored, outward life flows in service and generosity, not from struggle but from being. See this not as an event in time, but as a shift in consciousness you can enact now: acknowledge the Presence that is always here, and rest in it until healing becomes your habitual state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the feeling of being well here and now; envision the inner hand lifting you into a state of grace, and rest in that truth until reality shifts.
