Neville Goddard on Matthew 8:26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 8 in context

Scripture Focus

26And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Matthew 8:26

Biblical Context

Jesus questions their fear and limited faith, then demonstrates power over the storm, bringing a great calm. The scene points to how inner trust creates outer peace.

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear is a weather pattern in the soul, not a force of nature. When the disciples cry out, they reveal a mind split between the I AM and its reflections. The Master does not rebuke the sea; he rebukes that double minded place within them that calls danger by name. In truth there is only one sea and one inner air, and the moment a new consciousness asserts I AM as the only reality, the winds quiet and the water rests. The calm is not causal miracles in the outer world but the fruit of an awakened assumption. The I AM in you is not afraid; it remains still while the storm of appearances passes. You are not at the mercy of circumstance; you are the living imagination that shapes it. To replicate the scene, turn your attention inward, identify the fear narrative, and replace it with a firm belief that your present state is already calm, that you are the one who commands the wind and sea by inner decree. The storm dissolves when you align with the truth that you are that which remains when the winds are rebuked.
