The Third Hour Within

Acts 2:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 2 in context

Scripture Focus

14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
Acts 2:14-15

Biblical Context

Peter stands with the eleven and declares to the crowd that what they see is not drunkenness, for it is only the third hour of the day. The passage invites a shift in perception, showing that inner states give rise to outward events.

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter, standing with the eleven, is your I AM awakening, addressing the crowd of appearances. The accusation of drunkenness is the old belief that you are driven by outward stimuli; but the third hour is not a clock time, it is a symbol of inner certainty. When you assume you are already what you seek—calm, clear, steadfast—your inner weather shifts and the outward scene must reflect that inner identity. The verse shows the world does not define you; your consciousness defines the world. The statement 'not drunken' is a correction of misperception: you are not governed by the ego's intoxications but by the self that dwells in I AM. By the act of assumption—feeling the wish fulfilled in the present—you rewrite the impression of others and events. The third hour becomes your invitation to live from the end, to trust the inner light, and to witness reality align with your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, lift your attention to the I AM within, and declare: I am awake now; this hour marks my inner certainty. Practice a 60-second revision: in your imagination, observe a current scene and revise it to reflect your desired state.
