Inner Authority to Forgive
Mark 2:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus declares that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins. This frames forgiveness as an inner authority accessible within consciousness, not a distant event.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you the 'earth' is your present awareness. The 'Son of Man' power to forgive sins is the conviction that you can revise what you accept as real by an act of inner decision. Forgiveness is not a demand upon the outer world but a transformation of your inner state; when you accept that you are forgiven, you erase the record of guilt that keeps disease and limitation alive. The sick of the palsy represents any belief that binds you to poor outcomes; the moment you acknowledge the I AM as the source of forgiveness, that belief loosens and healing flows, often promptly. The God-given mercy is your own awareness awakening to its own limitless nature, nothing external needed. So turn your attention to the feeling that forgiveness has already occurred, and live from that restored center, and the world will reflect your inner harmony.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of complete forgiveness; revise a scene where you are reconciled and healed, and feel it real now.
