Inner Leadership From Acts 1:15-20

Acts 1:15-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 1 in context

Scripture Focus

15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
16Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
Acts 1:15-20

Biblical Context

Peter speaks to about 120 disciples that scripture concerning Judas has been fulfilled; Judas was part of the ministry and his actions led to a field of blood, with a call to replace him in leadership.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this scene is to witness the inner drama of your own mind. The hundred and twenty are the many facets of consciousness gathered in attention; Judas is not merely a man but a belief in betrayal within your heart—the impulse to sell out to fear for separation. When Peter says the scripture must be fulfilled by the Holy Ghost, he names the inner law by which imagination speaks through you; your inner Holy Ghost is the rising awareness, the I AM, that speaks truth your old self needed to hear. The field purchased with the reward of iniquity is the emotional landscape created when you dwell in guilt or blame; it becomes Aceldama, a field where energy is spilled rather than formed into life. Yet the line about letting the bishoprick be taken points to inner renovation: you can revise this state now, letting the old Judas die and a higher leadership replace it. The inner ministry can be renewed the moment you assume a new state of consciousness, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume, in the present tense, 'I am the leader of my inner ministry.' Feel the old betrayal-state dissolve as a new, wiser awareness takes the helm.
