Neville Goddard on Acts 20:32-34 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 20 in context

Scripture Focus

32And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

34Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

Acts 20:32-34

Biblical Context

Paul commends the believers to God and to the word of grace, promising they will be built up and receive an inheritance among the sanctified. He also states that he covets no one's wealth and that his hands worked to meet his needs and those with him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Acts the God Paul appeals to is the I AM within you—the living awareness that never lacks. The grace he speaks of is not charity from without but the word of grace that moves within your own consciousness, building you up and fashioning a sanctified life as your own inner inheritance. When he says he covets no silver or gold, he shows you the true power of self-sufficiency: wealth is not the measure but the alignment of your mind with the steadfast spirit that provides. Your hands ministering to necessities is your inner discipline: you tend to your life by the activity of your own awareness, not by chasing external supply. The inheritance is not a pile of money but a state—a sanctified self who stands in trust, not in fear, of the next moment. Practice seeing your present circumstance as already supplied by the grace at work within you, and feel the reality of your life growing rooted in that inner foundation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the inner state of provision now—feel the grace, and revise any lack as already satisfied. Sit quietly and repeat I AM provided until it resonates as reality.
