Inner Decree for Pure Living
Acts 15:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Acts 15:20 records the apostles' instruction to Gentile believers to abstain from pollutions of idols, from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's psychic lens, the decree is not a mere outward rule but a map of inner boundaries. Pollutions of idols are the mental contamination of images that claim you are less than God; they bind you to appearances and lack. Fornication is not only where bodies meet, but any union with lower passions before you claim the I AM as your governing fact, a mixing that dulls the sense of your true self. Things strangled and blood symbolize old lifeblood beliefs—the attachments and stories that choke the living Spirit by refusing to let fresh awareness breathe. The command to abstain invites interior alignment: you choose to feed your mind with the truth of your unity with God, letting that inner state govern outward conduct. Through revision of thought and the feeling-it-real of your realized identity, you rewrite your relationships, your appetite, and your surroundings until what you experience outwardly mirrors the purity of consciousness you hold within.
Practice This Now
Sit in stillness and revise: 'I am the I AM; I abstain from idol pollutions, from lower desires, and from anything that drains the life within me.' Then feel the relief as your inner state steadies into pure awareness.
