Neville Goddard on Acts 22:19-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 22 in context

Scripture Focus

19And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:

20And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

21And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

Acts 22:19-21

Biblical Context

Paul recounts his former zeal for persecuting believers and his encounter that redirected him. The inner shift becomes a call to a wider mission.

Neville's Inner Vision

This passage reveals a shift in the inner landscape. The Paul who persecuted is a memory-world state, not the enduring I AM you are tonight. When the command to depart arises, it is a turning of attention—not a geographic relocation, but a relocation of consciousness away from an old self-image. The invitation to go to the Gentiles marks the expansion of your inner field, where grace is extended beyond familiar circles and every state of consciousness is invited into awareness. Your past actions become the raw material through which you witness the marvellous transformation of identity, not as guilt but as proof that the I AM can revise any scene. The commission you're given is your own interior mandate—to speak to the wider mind with compassion, clarity, and unwavering faithfulness to the living presence within. Grace does not erase memory; it redefines it as fuel for a broader work, a vocation that aligns with the endless reach of the I AM in you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and revise your self-image by affirming, 'I am the I AM, called to a broader mission.' Feel the reality of this inner commission as already true for 3–5 minutes.
