Acts 11:15-17 Inner Spirit Baptism
Acts 11:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter notes that the Holy Spirit fell on the Gentiles just as it did on us at the beginning. He recalls Jesus' promise that believers would be baptized with the Holy Spirit, not merely with water.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the text, the Holy Spirit is not a distant event but the action of your own awareness waking to its source. When Peter says the Spirit fell 'as on us at the beginning,' hear that birth as your present moment: the I AM opens, and the room of your mind lights with grace. The 'baptism with the Holy Ghost' is not water but an inner flooding, a shift of state from belief in separation to the realization that God is the one and only perceiver within you. God gave them the same gift as us—so the gift is yours the instant you turn your gaze from effort to acceptance; faith becomes not a striving but a surrender to the truth that you already are loved and included in the divine stream. What was I, that I could withstand God? is your call to humility before your own inner Power, to yield to the movement of Spirit rather than resist it. In this room of consciousness, the grace and favor you seek are a present reality, waiting to be re-acknowledged by your desire.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the Holy Spirit as a warm, inner rain pouring over your consciousness, baptizing your awareness into a state of grace. Affirm to yourself, 'I am the I AM, and this moment is the baptism; I give thanks for the gift already given and feel it real now.'
