Rooted Faith and the Fig Tree

Mark 11:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 11 in context

Scripture Focus

20And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Mark 11:20-21

Biblical Context

In Mark 11:20–21, Jesus curses the fig tree and it withers by the roots, showing that a word spoken from authority over inner states changes what is within us; the disciples learn to recall this as a sign that faith can alter appearances.

Neville's Inner Vision

Morning after, the scene is not about a tree at all but the state of consciousness you carry. The fig tree, barren of fruit, represents a fixed inner assumption—thoughts and feelings that refuse to yield. When Jesus curses it, he speaks from the I AM, and the roots respond, not by punishment but by showing you where your belief lives. The tree withers from the roots, meaning change begins where you most resist it: in your own sense of what is possible. Peter’s reminder becomes your invitation to observe: what are you accrediting as real in your inner weather? If you utter a decisive word from the same consciousness, the outer must answer. This is the Kingdom of God: not a distant place, but a state you cultivate by trust in your own awareness. Judgment becomes inner clearing, and prophecy becomes promise when you dwell in the belief that your imagination is the instrument of creation. Your life, then, is the fruit of consistent inner decree, not luck or fate.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit in quiet awareness and assume the state 'I AM' is the source of all change. Revise any lack by declaring, 'I am abundant, whole, and fruitful,' and feel it real until the scene responds.
