Inner Disciples Strengthened Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Acts 18:23 lies the inner map: Paul is the I AM moving through the mind, visiting the 'cities' of Galatia and Phrygia—the regions of thought where belief, courage, and unity reside. The 'strengthening' of the disciples is not to convert others, but to reinforce your own inner states—disciples being the teachable aspects of consciousness: faith, endurance, mission, and community within. As you accept that you are the I AM, you begin to walk through your mental territory in order, gently affirming that you are not separate from your divine idea. Each stop is a renewal of conviction, a lucent reminder that imagination is the instrument by which reality is shaped; the strengthening is the inner practice of holding the feeling of the wish fulfilled until it expands your outer life. The verse invites you to persevere in self-improvement, to treat your inner world with the tender authority of a teacher, and to unify the scattered parts under the single consciousness of God within.
