Acts 12:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter, freed from prison, goes to Mary’s house where believers are gathered in prayer. The scene highlights prayerful community as the seedbed of answered requests.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your consciousness, acts of gathering and petition become the inner scene. The house of Mary—the mother of John, whose surname was Mark—stands as a state of receptivity where many linger in shared faith. 'The thing' Peter considered is not a fleshly problem but a mental movement toward a solution; the moment he turns toward that inner fixture, he finds a door within opening through communal prayer. In Neville's terms, Peter's arrival is the gentle demonstration that a thought rightly held in a united field solidifies into movement. The prison of fear dissolves when you image a circle of faithful minds, all agreeing with the alignments of one I AM. The house, the prayer, the unity—these are not external structures but the inner atmosphere wherein your desires are allowed to speak and be answered. To the attentive student, this passage reveals that when you align imagination with faith—feeling it real—you move the 'thing' toward fulfillment through a shared, fearless consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: assume you are inside the inner house of prayer, and the matter you consider is resolved. Revise your state to 'it is done' and feel it real through gratitude.
