Inner Fire, Compassion, and Healing

Mark 9:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 9 in context

Scripture Focus

22And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Mark 9:22

Biblical Context

A father pleads for healing for his son, cast into fire and water by affliction, and asks if Jesus can do anything.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember this is not a distant miracle, but a revelation of your inner state. The boy represents a portion of your consciousness held captive by fear, a 'thing' cast into fire and water by the heat of belief. The cry 'if thou canst do any thing' exposes a mind clinging to limitation, a moment where you doubt the omnipotence of your I AM. Jesus in this gospel is the embodied awareness within you, the act of attention that refuses to be frightened by the flames. When you appeal for mercy, you are really asking your own I AM to awaken to a different vibration, to revise the scene with the certainty that nothing is outside you. The healing comes not as a new fact imposed from without, but as a clear recollection that you are the one who imagines the scene and can reimagine it into wholeness. By dwelling in the feeling of the desired state—health, release, restoration—you convert the fire into purification and the water into the cleansing stream of awareness. Deliverance is your choice of state, not a distant intervention.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I AM the healing presence now' and feel it as a living fact; then imagine the fire and waters dissolving into light as you rest in that awareness.
