Cornelius Vision: Inner Call
Acts 10:3-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Cornelius receives a vision where an angel announces that his prayers and alms rise to God as a memorial. He is guided to send for Peter to learn the next step.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this passage, Cornelius is not a distant event but a state of consciousness exposed to a higher influence. The angel is a movement of awareness, and the statement that prayers and alms are memorial before God declares that your merciful acts and desires have already been registered in the divine mind within you. The directive to seek Peter points to an inner principle of illumination—the inner teacher that reveals the next right step when you are still and receptive. The reference to lodging with Simon the tanner by the sea suggests that truth comes through readily available, tangible forms once your mind is aligned with its inner guide. This is not about external geography but about aligning your inner dispositions with the truth you already are. Trust that the means and the guide you seek are resident in your own consciousness, awaiting your deliberate turn toward them.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively assume Cornelius’ frame of mind: feel the memorial of your prayers and acts of mercy rising in your mind as a palpable current. Then declare, 'I am now guided by the inner Peter; I know what I ought to do and act on it with confidence.'
