Neville Goddard on Acts 22:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 22 in context

Scripture Focus

1Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.

2(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

Acts 22:1-2

Biblical Context

Paul addresses the crowd in Hebrew, inviting them to hear his defense; when they hear him in their own tongue, they fall silent to listen more intently.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul’s defense becomes a mirror of your inner state. The crowd is your mind's opposing voices, softened when you speak the language of the I AM within. The Hebrew tongue stands for your deepest self—the native speech of God within. When you turn to that tongue, fear, doubt, and quarrelsome thoughts fall quiet, and the inner assembly listens. The crowd that whispers 'you cannot' is simply old beliefs listening for proof; declare truth from the I AM, and the new state takes the floor. The power is in the insistence of the language you choose as true. This is not rhetoric but a revision of your consciousness. As you speak in your inner Hebrew, events align with the decree of that state—your defense is the solid, present fact of being. Trust that your speaker is the I AM and let the silent audience confirm the fact.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the speaker's role, and silently declare: I AM speaks now; I am defended by truth. Feel the inner silence settling as the old doubt yields to this revised state.
