Inner Hospitality and Prophecy
Acts 21:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul and companions finish their Tyre journey and stay a day with believers in Ptolemais, then travel to Caesarea and lodge with Philip the evangelist, where four daughters prophesy.
Neville's Inner Vision
Acts 21:7-9 is not a mere itinerary but a map of inner states. The journey from Tyre to Ptolemais and Caesarea mirrors the soul moving toward hospitable awareness, finishing one phase of separation and entering a new station of hospitality. The house of Philip the evangelist is a receptive mind, one that makes room for the word to live as lived truth. Saluting the brethren is acknowledging all the facets of self as kin; dwelling one day is a steady abiding in a generous state of consciousness. The four daughters who prophesy are inner intuitions, voices of guidance that arise when you listen within rather than chase outward signs. Prophecy is not about predicting outward events but hearing the divine voice that speaks through imagination and feeling. Philip being one of the seven shows service as a mode of consciousness - to serve is to align your inner world with its own divine pattern. Thus the scene invites you to cultivate a hospitable and prophetic inner climate, where every movement of mind is guided by the I AM and the belief that you are already dwelling in the truth you seek.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already dwelling in an open, hospitable inner house. For a few minutes, imagine greeting your inner brethren, inviting the four prophetic voices to speak, and feeling that you are living in a unity that already is.
