Inner Testimony in Matthew 8:4
Matthew 8:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus instructs the healed man to go to the priest and offer the gift, so the incident bears witness to the fulfillment of ceremonial law as a sign of his restored state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the healing is a change of state within the mind. The outward instruction to go to the priest and offer the gift is the inner order being enacted in form—the I AM recognizing a law that has always governed you. The man's tell-no-man command becomes a quiet invitation to testify to your inner self rather than seeking fame; the gift is a symbolic release, a payment to your own moral statute that you are now clean. See the priest not as a person but as the inner authority of your consciousness, Moses' law as the immutable patterns of right alignment. When you act on this inner movement, you fulfill the testimony to the world by living from the state of health and integrity already present in you. Remember: imagination creates reality, and obedience to your inner law manifests externally as harmony.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and feel the healing as already done; imagine presenting the inner gift to your priest within and declaring gratitude, then live from that state as your everyday reality.
