Inner Vision, Unclean No More

Acts 11:7-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 11 in context

Scripture Focus

7And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Acts 11:7-10

Biblical Context

Peter hears a heavenly command to eat, then resists, claiming nothing common or unclean has entered his mouth. The heavenly answer reveals that what God has cleansed should not be called common.

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter's vision is not about food but about the state of consciousness that calls clean and unclean. The heavenly command appears as a prompt from your own I AM to arise from limited dietary laws of fear and preference. When you resist, you reveal the stubborn belief that certain people, conditions, or ideas are 'unclean.' The voice returns: What God hath cleansed, call not thou common. Therefore, cease labeling any part of your life as outside the divine—recognize that your inner vision has cleansed it already. The threefold repetition is the mind's insistence to revise; as you entertain the new assumption, the habitual 'mouth' of your thoughts begins to speak new nourishment: inclusion, acceptance, and unity. You are not commanded to modify the outer world, but to change the inner boundary lines by which you judge what is acceptable. In your present moment, you can hear the voice and answer, 'Yes, I am clean, and my world answers accordingly.' Imagination is the instrument by which God speaks; by feeling it real, you authenticate the cleansing in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being already cleansed; declare quietly 'What God hath cleansed, I call clean' and imagine the new, inclusive boundaries in your heart.
