From Vanities to the Living God
Acts 14:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul and Barnabas urge turning from vanities to the Living God who made heaven, earth, and sea, and who provides rain and seasons. They remind us that God has not left humanity without witness, but remains present as blessing.
Neville's Inner Vision
I tell you, the scene in Acts 14:15-17 is a parable of your own inner awakening. The crowd's clamor over idols is your old sense of life chasing shadows; you are called to turn from vanities unto the living God, the I AM who fashioned heaven and earth within your own heart. Providence does not come as distant weather or luck; it is the continual movement of your consciousness when you align with the truth that you are awareness itself. The 'rain from heaven' and 'fruitful seasons' are the felt witnesses of your revised state—joy, nourishment, gratitude—sprung from the inner economy of God as you recognize the one Life within. In times past nations walked their own ways, but the moment you return to the one Source, your thoughts are drawn toward what is true, and your day becomes a litany of witness to good. So, do not seek elsewhere; remember that the Living God lives in you, guiding every sensation, every provision, every gladness as you dissolve idols of lack.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already turned: declare softly, 'I am turning from vanities to the Living God.' Close your eyes, feel the I AM within, and notice a sense of ease and gratitude rising as if rain and nourishment are being poured into your consciousness.
