Neville Goddard on Mark 5:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 5 in context

Scripture Focus

25And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

Mark 5:25-26

Biblical Context

A woman with a twelve-year bleeding condition endures suffering under many physicians, spending all she has, and grows no better. Her experience mirrors an outer lack that reflects an inner pattern seeking relief in the wrong places.

Neville's Inner Vision

The bleeding woman is not merely a patient in a crowd; she is a state of consciousness pressed down by pain, fear, and the habit of looking outward for healing. For twelve years she chased doctors, spent her wealth, and yet relief remained elusive because she clung to a belief in lack and in external power over her life. In Neville Goddard’s sense, healing begins when the mind returns to its own I AM—when the awareness that you are the one who imagines creates. The 'issue of blood' becomes symbolic of a story run on a bloodline of lack, a rhythm of need that drains energy. When she decides, in her own quiet reversal, that she already possesses health, she reframes the entire situation. The same power that moves in Jesus or in a crowd is the power of consciousness within you, ready to be trusted. The moment she feels the wish fulfilled—health, freedom from expense, restoration of strength—the external scene shifts. Provision implies not more money or doctors, but the inner assurance that God is the source; trust becomes action, and the suffering dissolves in the light of awareness.
