Inner Healing Through Faith
Matthew 17:14-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A father begs for his son's healing; the disciples fail to cure him. Jesus exposes a lack of faith, rebukes the demon, and the child is healed at once.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the scene is a drama of inner states. The crowd and the disciples mirror your habitual mind; the boy represents a belief that seems to be suffering. The so‑called demon is not a separate force but a thought of separation from your I AM, one you have allowed to command your senses. When Jesus calls the generation faithless, he speaks to your own doubting habit, not to a distant audience. The cure occurs not by power over others but by returning the attention to the sovereign within: bring the 'problem' to the Christ in you and command the belief to depart. In that moment the very hour becomes your moment of awakening, when consciousness ceases to identify with fear and identifies with wholeness. Healing then unravels as you realize that you are the operator of your reality; mercy flows as you relax into the truth that you are always one with the Father, and the outward result reflects your inward, changed state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In the next moment, close your eyes, assume the feeling that the son is already healed, and quietly declare, 'I AM the I AM; this condition is dissolved in my consciousness.'
