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.

16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

22Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

25For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

29Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

30Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

31He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

33Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

34For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

35Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Acts 2:14-36

Biblical Context

Peter stands and speaks of Jesus as the crucified and raised Lord, announcing the outpouring of the Spirit. He shows that salvation comes to all who call on the name of the Lord, linking David's prophecy to Christ's resurrection.

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter’s bold voice is the inner voice of your own I AM awakening. The crowd’s assumption that they are worshiping drunkenness becomes a misreading of a deeper shift: this is the last days, not of history alone, but of consciousness, when God pours out the Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters prophesy, your visions appear, your dreams wake—these are the inner moves of imagination made real. The signs in heaven and earth are not distant wonders but the movements of your own inner environment when you remember who you are. What Christ did in Jesus—crucified, risen, exalted—is the inner drama of identify with your higher self: the old self dies, the Christ within is raised and enthroned in your awareness. David’s words become your own assurance: the Lord stands at your right hand, you are not moved by fear, your soul rests in hope. To know that God made Jesus Lord and Christ is to claim that the living presence resides within you, and the Holy Spirit’s gift is the felt sense of inspiration now, circulating as your awareness.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and say, 'I am the Lord of my life.' Feel the immediate sensation of the Spirit poured into your being, and dwell in that presence for a few breaths, letting the inner vision unfold as your new reality.
