Neville Goddard on Acts 2:33-36 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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 2:33-36

Biblical Context

Peter declares Jesus is exalted at God’s right hand and has received the Holy Spirit, proving his Lordship and Christ status; God has made him both Lord and Christ.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, the right hand of God is not a distant throne but the active center of consciousness. To be exalted by the right hand of God means your I AM has elevated your awareness to receive the Holy Spirit as inner certainty. David represents the mortal self clinging to limitation; he did not ascend because ascent is a shift of consciousness, the recognition that the Lord speaks to my Lord and sits at my right hand. This inner ruler—the higher self—regains authority, sitting within your mind until every outward appearance bows. When you learn that the same Jesus you once projected as external is indeed made Lord and Christ within, you awaken to a new dominion inside. The outer foes become footstools beneath your feet, for you identify not with lack but with the Christ within and the Father’s promise realized in you now. The Holy Spirit is not a future event but a present inner certainty, poured into your awareness.

Practice This Now

Assume for a few minutes that you are seated at the right hand of God in your own consciousness, aware I AM presence; revise any sense of lack by affirming that the inner Lord and Christ reside within you here and now, and feel the felt sense of the Holy Spirit renewing your certainty.
