Inner Word Spreads: Acts 13:48-49
Acts 13:48-49 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the Gentiles hear the message, they rejoice, and believe. The word of the Lord then spreads across the region.
Neville's Inner Vision
Act 13:48-49 invites us to see belief not as a historical event but as a state of consciousness awakened by the inner word. When you hear the good news within, you become glad, you glorify the word of the Lord, and belief begins to function as an ordained decree already in you—eternal life manifesting as now. The Gentiles represent those outside the old limitation of lack; their glad reception shows that the moment consciousness recognizes truth, it calls forth its own response. The 'as many as were ordained to eternal life believed' speaks to the natural law of your being: predestination is your inner readiness to consent to life, not a verdict from without. The 'word of the Lord' is not a distant text but your vibrational reality spoken in your heart; as you affirm it, the word goes forth from you throughout the region of your experience, drawing conditions to align with your renewed state. Your work is to assume, feel, and dwell in the consciousness that life is your present possession.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state 'I am ordained to eternal life' now. Feel the gladness arising in you and visualize the word of the Lord spreading through every corner of your life.
