Neville Goddard on Acts 20:28-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 20 in context

Scripture Focus

28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Acts 20:28-31

Biblical Context

Paul warns the elders to guard themselves and the church, for grievous wolves will come after his departure. He urges constant watching and teaching so the flock remains united in the truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment the flock is your inner state of consciousness, and the overseers are the I AM guiding your attention. The Holy Ghost is the inner voice that assigns responsibility to your awareness to feed truth into your mind. Wolves are not outside beings but distracting thoughts and stories that would pull you from your center. To say the church is purchased with God's own blood is to say your true self is priceless, secured by the life‑force of your divine awareness, not by ritual or fear. The warning against those who rise from within is a pointer to the misbeliefs that masquerade as certainty, tempting you to follow a thought or feeling away from the one Presence. The injunction to watch and remember becomes a practice: maintain two continuous states—awareness of I AM and the feeling that you are already united with what you seek. Keep your assumption fixed in the present and rewrite your inner weather with love, clarity, and steadfast faith.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes. Assume you are the I AM overseeing your inner flock and revise anxious thoughts by affirming the truth of your divine self, feeling it real.
