Touch of Cleansing Inner Healing
Matthew 8:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 8 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
