Departing Coasts, Inner Liberation

Mark 5:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 5 in context

Scripture Focus

16And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
Mark 5:16-17

Biblical Context

Witnesses told others what happened to the man possessed and the swine. The people then begged Jesus to leave their region.

Neville's Inner Vision

Mark 5:16-17 is not a village incident; it is a spiritual script for your inner life. The man once possessed is your old self, dominated by fear and belief, now named by the Word you accept as true. The swine are the familiar attachments to the old stories that perish when your attention is seized by a higher state. The crowd’s request to depart reflects your resistance to change; you call upon Jesus to leave your shores because you fear what you might become if you truly believed. But Jesus stands for the I AM within you—awakened awareness that creates, not contends. When you silently assent to the new state—I AM healed; I AM free—the old condition dissolves and you are carried to a fresh coast of awareness. The warfare is your habit of doubt; the victory is the persistent feeling of the wish fulfilled until it becomes your lived experience. Healing and restoration flow from consciousness, not from external banishment.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner state: I AM healed now. Revise the scene to align with this truth, and feel the liberation as real.
