Touch of Cleansing Inner Healing

Matthew 8:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 8 in context

Scripture Focus

3And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Matthew 8:3-4

Biblical Context

Jesus heals a man with leprosy by touch, declaring him clean, and then instructs him to show himself to the priest and offer the Moses-commanded gift as testimony.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the leper is a symbol of separation in consciousness, not a man defined by skin. Jesus touch is the I AM reaching out and declaring be thou clean, a seismic shift in inner atmosphere. The cleansing is instantaneous the moment you entertain the truth that you are already clean in awareness. The instruction to tell no man and to go show the priest is guidance to guard the inner certainty until it is verified by the inner priest through acts of gratitude and integrity. The priesthood here is the inner authority; the offering is the release of the old story of lack. Thus the healing is not merely physical but the birth of a new self-conception. When you dwell in that state and act from it, you become the one who cleanses his or her life by the assumption that the new condition is true.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Jesus placing a hand on you and declaring you clean; feel the inner cleansing rise in awareness. Then acknowledge your own inner priest and dwell in that truth for a moment.
