Inner Call Through Fasting
Acts 13:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Acts 13:2-3, the disciples minister to the Lord and fast; the Holy Spirit designates Barnabas and Saul for a divine task, and after more fasting and prayer they lay hands and send them forth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your own consciousness, 'ministry to the Lord' is a turning of attention from self-will to the I AM. Fasting is not deprivation but selective attention, starving the noise of blame, hunger for limitation, and the ego's drift until only the still, small voice remains. When the inner air grows still, the inner 'Holy Ghost' speaks as the certainty of your I AM identity: Separate the two aspects of yourself that fulfill a larger service—Barnabas and Saul representing distinct faculties—vision and action, or compassion and courage. The command does not point to persons apart from you but to the unity of your consciousness revealing its true vocation. The laying on of hands is the felt-sense of destiny pressing into form through you as you consent to be moved by that impulse. After an inner yes, you are released to operate in the world, trusting that your calling is already established in your inner life. The event is a reminder that creation begins within and calls you to act from awareness rather than from attempt.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, declare, 'I am called to my highest service.' Visualize a distinct inner voice naming the work; feel the certainty as if already done; then imagine yourself being sent forth.
