Inner Faith Forgiveness
Mark 2:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus declares the paralytic’s sins forgiven because of their faith. The scribes question this, revealing that forgiveness is an inner shift of consciousness, not an external power, and healing follows from that inner change.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how the paralytic’s body serves as a backdrop for an inner movement. When Jesus speaks 'thy sins be forgiven thee,' he names the unseen shift that makes healing possible—the inner alignment of consciousness with the I AM. The faith present is not an outward belief but an inner assurance that awareness itself is complete and unconditionally whole. The scribes who question in their hearts embody the old habit of limiting power to what can be named by others; they mistake the form for presence. In Neville’s reading, forgiveness arises from revising the belief that sin has real power over you; it is an inner decree that you are already forgiven because you are one with God within. As you dwell in that I AM—this present awareness—you release the sense of separation, and the body rises to harmonize with your newly affirmed state. The miracle is first a change of consciousness; the event in the room follows as a natural expression of your now-true nature.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume the finished state in the present tense—'I am forgiven now'—and feel the release in your body as you breathe. Stay with the I AM until the sense of separation dissolves and healing becomes your natural expression.
