Acting as the Inner Witness

Acts 1:21-23 - 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.
23And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Acts 1:21-23

Biblical Context

Two men who had accompanied Jesus from John’s baptism to his ascension were proposed as witnesses of the Resurrection, and Matthias and Barsabas (Justus) were named as candidates to be chosen.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the scene is inside your mind. The request to replace Judas is a call to examine your own states of consciousness. The two candidates symbolize two faculties of mind ready to testify to the risen life, one anchored in the old script of John’s baptism and the other looking to the Ascension. The apostles’ decision is not a historical event but an inner discernment: which state will serve as your confirmed witness to the truth that life is eternal and present now? When you allow a state to be ordained as witness, you declare your inner reality—your awareness that the Christ within is alive. The act of choosing is a turning of attention that births freedom, mission, and presence, transforming perception from fear or memory into action in alignment with the risen life. In this light, the “two” become two facets of one mind you test by your willingness to accept and witness your own rebirth. The result is a clear, lived determination to witness the truth in daily life through assumption and feeling it real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the chosen inner witness testifying to your risen life. Feel it real by repeating, 'I am the witness of the Resurrection within me, right now.'
