Neville Goddard on Mark 16:15-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 16 in context

Scripture Focus

15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Mark 16:15-20

Biblical Context

These verses commission Jesus' followers to spread the Gospel to all, promise salvation to believers, and endow them with signs mirroring inner reality. The passage culminates with the Lord's ascension and the apostles continuing the message with divine accompaniment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, the world outwardly is but a mirror of your inward state. When you read, 'Go ye into all the world,' hear it as an invitation to preach to every aspect of your consciousness. The field is your inner landscape; every creature is a facet of your own being waiting to wake. To believe and be baptized is to consent to a change of state—immersion in awareness, a dying to limitation and a rising into the truth I AM. The signs that follow are not external marvels to seek, but inner demonstrations: you cast out subconscious devils by refusing their claim, you speak with new tongues by rewording your thoughts, you take up serpents by facing fear without flinching, you drink any deadly thing and it harms you not by keeping your mind steadfast. When you act from this inner certainty, the Lord works with you, and the world evidences your gospel as 'signs following.'

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are the believer—the I AM—now preaching to every part of you. Then feel the change as if the gospel is already true and the old fear has dissolved.
