Awaiting Inner Apollos
1 Corinthians 16:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul notes Apollos' desire to visit, but his timing isn't now. The future visit signals unity and coordinated presence within the community.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the inner theater of your mind, Apollos is not a man of a distant history but a living state of consciousness—an inner teacher you call forth. Paul’s note that he greatly desired Apollos to come to you with the brethren is the I AM’s longing to unite scattered parts of your awareness. The sentence 'his will was not at all to come at this time' marks the condition of your mind when that inner state has not yet settled into permission; 'convenient time' is the momentary belief that conditions must align before fullness can arrive. When you revise that belief and affirm, 'the right time is now,' Apollos enters again as a felt presence, and the circle of brethren becomes your inner field of unity. Presence of God is not distant; it is the quiet alignment of your inner states. Trust the timing as an expression of inner order, and know that the future visitation of that teaching state is a natural consequence of your growing coherence.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume that your inner Apollos—your higher teaching state—is visiting your circle now; feel the warmth of unity. Dwell in the conviction that the right timing is present, and allow the sense of arrival to sink into your being.
