Eighteen Months of Inner Teaching
Acts 18:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul stayed there for eighteen months, teaching the word of God among them.
Neville's Inner Vision
Paul’s long sojourn in that place is not about geography but about a state of awareness that remains steadfast in the I AM. The ‘place’ becomes an inner disposition where truth can be taught and absorbed. The ‘word of God’ is the living idea you invite into your mind; the eighteen months symbolize the steady, habitual activity of impressing that truth upon the subconscious until it becomes your operating principle. Seen through Neville’s lens, you are the one who teaches the word to your own heart—your higher self speaking through you, shaping belief, mood, and perception. The outer events reflect the inner curriculum you maintain by repeated assumption, revision, and feeling it real. By persisting in that inner teaching, you graduate from fleeting belief to a durable habit of consciousness, and life itself follows suit.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already teaching the inner word to yourself for eighteen months; nightly revise doubt and feel the truth as real, letting it color your thoughts, choices, and sensations.
