Inner Witness of Resurrection

Acts 1:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 1 in context

Scripture Focus

21Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
Acts 1:21-22

Biblical Context

Acts 1:21-22 says they must choose a man who accompanied them from John's baptism to Jesus' Ascension to be a witness of his resurrection.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the 'witness' is not an external appointment but a state of consciousness you decree within. These men, who walked with Jesus from John's baptism to the day of the Ascension, illustrate that your inner life must remain with the Christ from beginning to end. The one to be ordained represents the single state you choose to inhabit as truth—the awareness that Jesus is risen in your own awareness. In Neville’s language, you do not find a person outside you; you become the state that testifies to life after death. From baptism you undergo a transformation of perception; from Ascension you rise in feeling: you know life in resurrection now, here. Your imagination is the authority that marks this ordination; by imagining yourself already witnessing the resurrection, you seal the event in the present. The “they” is your collective self—the I AM that is always with you, choosing a consistent witness and thus birthing a new life in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume you are the witness of resurrection now; feel the rising life within as you declare, 'I am the witness that Christ is risen in my consciousness.'
