Neville Goddard on Acts 18:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 18 in context

Scripture Focus

1After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

3And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

Acts 18:1-3

Biblical Context

Paul arrives in Corinth and joins Aquila and Priscilla; they share the tentmaking craft and begin a life of mutual labor. This shows how outer work mirrors inner agreement, and how unity of purpose in consciousness yields movement.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the story, the city of Corinth is not a geographical place but a state of opportunity in your mind. Paul is the awake I AM, the living consciousness that can see and act; Aquila and Priscilla are the two faculties of craft and partnership—your capacity to do and to connect. The decree driving others away mirrors the resistance you feel when a fresh vision arises; yet opposition does not end the work. Instead it gathers those who share your inner craft, weaving you into a field where daily making becomes prayer in disguise. When you imagine yourself in their company, you practice the simple truth: your life follows your agreements. If you believe you must suffer, you will find toil; if you practice the assumption that you are already supplied and supported, you will meet kindred souls and joint effort will flow as naturally as fabric meeting thread. Remember: nothing in Acts is outside your consciousness; the appearance of Paul and friends reflects a state of unity between aspiration, skill, and community. Your next step is to dwell in that joint vision until it feels real.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already in harmony with your desired partnership and daily craft; revise any sense of lack and feel the shared labor as real. See yourself at a workbench with kindred souls, the outcome flowing effortlessly from unity of will and skill.
