Neville Goddard on Acts 16:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 16 in context

Scripture Focus

8And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

10And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

Acts 16:8-10

Biblical Context

Paul and his companions receive a night vision of a man from Macedonia asking for help. They interpret it as confirmation that the Lord has called them to preach the gospel there.

Neville's Inner Vision

That night vision was not a possible itinerary; it was a present invitation. The inner man of Macedonia calls for your next vibrational expansion. Mysia and Troas mark shifts in consciousness, not mere geography; the vision appears to awaken a readiness to serve a new field of expression. When you are willing to entertain a single convincing image—the man of Macedonia beckoning—you align your attention with the I AM behind all seeing. The Lord who calls for preaching the gospel is the inner impulse of your higher self, the truth you must proclaim by living your life in a new way. The moment the vision appears, you know you are called; secrecy dissolves into action. You do not go looking; you go because the inner state has moved; you endeavor to walk as if you are already there, trusting that the divine impetus has appointed you. Providence attends the path when you assume the confidence that you have already arrived, and that your words and deeds will reflect your inner witness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a Macedonia man beckoning you to come and help; feel yourself already there. Then declare, I am led by the I AM to this field of service, and take one concrete step today that evidences that inner guidance.
