Graceful Return to Inner Antioch
Acts 14:26-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Back in Antioch, they gathered the church and rehearsed how God had worked through them, opening faith to the Gentiles. The outward voyage becomes a reflection of inner grace and the expansion of belief.
Neville's Inner Vision
Return to inner Antioch, and listen: the voyage is a return to the I AM within, where you were, in your own consciousness, recommended to the grace of God for the work you fulfilled. Grace is your innate alignment with the end you seek; your I AM is the force that opens doors. The 'work' you fulfilled is the manifestation already completed in your inner state, now witnessed as outer results. When you 'rehearse all that God had done with you,' you are rehearsing the concrete evidence of grace in your own life—the inner shifts, the turning of belief, the bringing forth of new possibilities. 'Open the door of faith unto the Gentiles' means extending belief beyond past boundaries, welcoming neglected aspects of yourself into your field of consciousness. The Gentiles symbolize all that lies outside your familiar circle; by affirming the end as already achieved, you invite them in. The return to Antioch is the sign that your state of consciousness has matured; the work is done because you have assumed it done. All things become possible within the I AM when you dwell there and move as if it were so.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the end: you are back in your inner Antioch, the church within you gathering to hear what you have accomplished. Feel the grace as already done and imagine the door of faith opened to all, especially those parts you previously denied.
