Inner Dissension to Jerusalem
Acts 15:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul and Barnabas clash with some about a question, then decide to travel to Jerusalem to seek guidance from the apostles and elders.
Neville's Inner Vision
The verse is not a history reel but a doorway inside you. Dissension in the text signals an inner quarrel of beliefs about a question you hold, and the resolution comes when you, like Paul and Barnabas, ascend in mind to consult the council within. The 'Jerusalem' of your awareness is the state in which you are attentive to the I AM—the inner apostles, elders, and witnesses whose authority you acknowledge. By choosing to seek counsel inside, you align with covenant loyalty and the higher law you live by, rather than with mere opinion. The encounter is a movement of discernment that quiets agitation as you revise the meaning of the issue until it harmonizes with your true state. Imagination becomes the scaffold that holds the new agreement, and obedience is the faithful acting on that inner decree. When you stand in this inner decision, you are not negotiating with others but with yourself, and you emerge already united with the answer you sought.
Practice This Now
Name the question you are contending with, then declare: I, the I AM, have consulted my inner council and the answer is now established; feel the truth of this resolution as real.
