Neville Goddard on Acts 19:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 19 in context

Scripture Focus

11And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

12So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

Acts 19:11-12

Biblical Context

In Acts 19:11-12, God works special miracles by Paul's hands, so that handkerchiefs or aprons touched by him carry healing and drive out diseases and evil spirits.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul’s hands are not magical in themselves; they are the visible pointer of a deeper truth: miracles arise from inner agreement with the I AM. When you read that diseases depart and spirits go out, hear it as a parable of inner shifts. The real healing occurs when consciousness accepts itself as complete and untroubled by ailment; the cloths are simply symbols that anchor a bold inner imagination. If you identify with Paul, you are invited to recognize that your own state of awareness can extend healing to others or yourself by imaging the life that already is yours. The scene shows time, space, and sickness bending to the act of belief; the external is a sign of an inner conversion. The miracle is the interruption of limitation by a heightened awareness that I AM can move through you and into any form you touch.

Practice This Now

Hold a cloth or imagine one as the physical extension of your inner I AM. Say, I am whole now, and feel the healing energy flowing from your awareness into the cloth and out to the body, until the image feels real.
