Neville Goddard on Acts 1:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 1 in context

Scripture Focus

6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Acts 1:6-7

Biblical Context

The disciples ask for a visible restoration of Israel's kingdom. Jesus replies that times and seasons belong to the Father and relate to inner timing, not outward schedules.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's language, the kingdom is a state of consciousness that you wear from within. The question about restoring a political realm is set aside as Jesus points to the inner timing of God and the authority of awareness. Times and seasons belong to the Father in your own mind, and the power to experience the kingdom lies in your I AM, not in external events. When you inhabit the feeling of being the I AM, you stand in a present, sovereign kingdom rather than waiting for some future moment. The shift comes when you revise the inquiry from 'when will the external kingdom appear' to 'how do I align with my inner state now?' Practice makes this true: you dwell in that inner sovereignty and let outward appearances reflect your inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For the next few minutes, assume the state 'I AM the kingdom within me now' and feel it as present reality. Close your eyes, breathe, and let the inner governor, your awareness, steady the scene and notice the world shifting to fit that sovereign mood.
