Embrace of Inner Life
Acts 20:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul went down, fell on the young man, and reassured the group that there is life in him; the crowd is told not to trouble themselves because his life remains within him.
Neville's Inner Vision
Acts 20:10 reveals that the revival is a work of inner consciousness, not a mere external miracle. Paul represents the I AM within you, stepping down into the dream of separation, falling on the 'dead' figure with a touch of compassionate attention. He declares to the crowd that trouble is unnecessary because life resides in him—the life is in the man, and not apart from the perceiving awareness. In Neville terms, the scene teaches that vitality is a state you occupy in imagination, and healing follows when you revise the impression until it feels real. Embrace, speak the truth, and abide in the feeling that the man’s life remains intact within the field of consciousness you claim as yours. The apostolic power arises from your settled conviction; mercy and restoration bloom as you inhabit resurrection now, here, inside your own awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, in imagination, assume the scene of embracing the person you perceive as in need and affirm, 'His life is in him.' Hold the feeling of vitality until it becomes your current reality.
