The Idol Within

Neville's Inner Vision

The scene in Acts 14:12 is a mirror of the inner mind. People named Barnabas and Paul as Jupiter and Mercury because they spoke with a force that seemed divine; yet this is not about external beings but inner states of consciousness projecting power outward. In Neville’s method, these ‘gods’ are symbols of habitual beliefs that you momentarily treat as ultimate power. The true worship is not toward persons but toward the I AM that animates all forms. When you witness praise or the urge to revere an outer speaker, recognize you are naming an inner state as if it were separate from your own consciousness. Return your attention to the one life within, the I AM that speaks you into being. By re-identifying the origin of power as your own consciousness, you dissolve the illusion of dependence and let the speaker become a beacon of inner revelation rather than a distant god. Practice this now: align with the I AM within and observe how your world shifts to reflect that truth.
