This Is That: Joel's Prophecy Within
Acts 2:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Acts 2:16 asserts that the happening fulfills Joel’s prophecy. It presents prophecy as a present reality, grounded in the inner state rather than distant history.
Neville's Inner Vision
That 'this is that' is not a shout from history; it is a key to your inner state. Joel spoke of a Spirit outpouring, and the Pentecost glow in Acts is the outer banner of an inner certainty already present. In Neville’s sense, the event you witness outwardly is the sign of an inward conviction you have accepted as real. The 'prophecy' is your I AM affirming its own reality; crowds, tongues, and signs are just the theatre of a consciousness finally persuaded. If you feel lack, remember you are not apart from the prophecy; you are recreating it by your inner movement. The verse invites you to treat the present moment as the fulfillment of Joel’s decree within your mind. When you assume the feeling of the fulfilled promise, when you dwell in the sense of 'I AM,' you align with the vital rhythm and allow it to express as your world. The outpouring is simply your awareness expanded, and the day you inhabit that awareness, the outer signs follow.
Practice This Now
Sit in quiet stillness and repeat 'This is that spoken by Joel' while sinking into the feeling of the promised reality—your I AM aware, already awake. Hold that feeling for 3–5 minutes, then move through your day as if it were true.
