Neville Goddard on Acts 13:42-43 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 13 in context

Scripture Focus

42And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

43Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Acts 13:42-43

Biblical Context

Gentiles in the gathering ask for the message to be preached again next sabbath. Paul and Barnabas advise the congregation to continue in the grace of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

The synagogue is a state of mind; when the Jews depart, the Gentiles are moved by a seed of desire for truth. The words spoken are not mere history but impressions pressed upon consciousness by your own I AM. The next sabbath is not a calendar moment but a deliberate turning of attention to a new story—one in which you already live in grace. Paul and Barnabas are your affirmative thoughts and the impulses of faith that persuade your soul to stay with grace rather than yield to fear or lack. To continue in the grace of God is to refuse the lesser tale of deficiency and to dwell in the awareness that you are held by grace, not earned by effort. The act of witness—shared words, conviction, invitation—becomes an inner mission: you witness to yourself that you are the beloved, that the life you seek is the life already granted by the I AM. This scene invites the reader to trust the inner word over outer appearances.
