Inner Faith, Outer Growth

Neville's Inner Vision

Barnabas, in this verse, is not a mere man among men, but a state of consciousness: good, awake, and saturated with the Holy Ghost and faith. The I AM within him is fully present, and the Holy Spirit moves as inner wisdom and inspiration; faith is the steady trust that the unseen is the real cause behind all effects. When you inhabit that state, you do not seek approval from men; you radiate the inner grace that causes events to align. The phrase 'much people was added unto the Lord' symbolizes the outward effect of an inner necessity fulfilled: your life becomes a gathering place for like-minded souls, opportunities, and blessings—an expansion of the kingdom you recognize as already within you. So you can practice now: assume you are the good man, full of Spirit and faith, and feel the air of grace around you. As you dwell there, the external scene begins to shift to reflect that inner royalty. The growth you witness is the natural fruit of a mental equivalent made tangible through imagination.
