Neville Goddard on Mark 7:24-30 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 7 in context

Scripture Focus

24And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

25For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

27But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

28And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

29And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

30And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

Mark 7:24-30

Biblical Context

Jesus travels to Tyre where a Greek mother seeks healing for her daughter; after a test of faith, her unwavering trust prompts the healing as the demon leaves and the daughter is restored.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a moment in your own consciousness. The borders of Tyre and Sidon are the edges of your known self, and the house you enter is the quiet chamber of awareness where you refuse to broadcast your state to the world. The daughter with the unclean spirit is the troublesome belief you have allowed to take residence in your inner life. When the Syrophoenician mother asks for deliverance, she is your living faith asking for release from fear, not asking God to change the world but to remind you of your own invincible I AM. Jesus’ reply, Let the children first be filled, is the reminder that your new state must be established in fullness before the old condition yields. The dogs under the table are the old sense of separation—yet the crumbs are the moments you concede that your divine provision is already present. Her counter, yes Lord, the crumbs, activates the shift. The devil is gone out of thy daughter: once you accept that inner healing is done in consciousness, the outer situation follows, and the daughter lays on the bed in peace.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and enact the inner scene: you are already filled; envision the crumbs of supply under the table of your consciousness; say I am healed until this feels real.
