Neville Goddard on Matthew 12:24-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 12 in context

Scripture Focus

24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

25And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

27And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Matthew 12:24-27

Biblical Context

Pharisees accuse Jesus of casting out devils by Beelzebub. Jesus teaches that a kingdom divided cannot stand, pointing to unity as the source of power.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the drama on the page is not a contest of two external powers, but a mirror of your own inner disposition. The Pharisees project fear as Beelzebub; Jesus refuses the projection and points to the internal law: every kingdom divided against itself is desolate. The 'devils' are the shifting states of mind you entertain—doubt, judgment, separation. When you believe in two powers, you split the whole into opposing forces, and vitality drains from your life experience. The moment you affirm a single, unchangeable I AM—the one presence within—you stop lending energy to contradiction. The energy that moves in Jesus’ ministry is not borrowed from some external prince; it is the undivided light of consciousness that holds together what you call a world. Thus the Beelzebub accusation dissolves into a simple fact: unity is power, division is decay. In your own meditation, see that there is only one ruler in your mind, and that ruler is love, clarity, and I AM. When you live from that unity, you cast out the belief in two opposing powers.
