Neville Goddard on Acts 24:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 24 in context

Scripture Focus

2And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,

3We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.

Acts 24:2-3

Biblical Context

Tertullus flatters Felix by saying the governor brings quietness and acts of good providence for the nation, while the crowd publicly accepts it with thanks. The inner meaning is how outward appearances of peace arise from a state of consciousness you choose.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, Tertullus's ornate praise becomes a mirror of your own inner rhetoric. The 'great quietness' Felix enjoys is not a political condition to achieve but a state you cultivate within by assuming that Providence is at work through you. The word 'providence' is not about an event in history; it is your inner decree that the current scene is already cared for by the intelligent power you call God within. When the audience says 'we accept it always,' hear your own habit of accepting limitation or grace according to the mood of your mind. In this moment, the true act is to revise the impression: declare that peace and providence are already true now, by the I AM who governs your consciousness. See yourself as the governor of your life, the inner Felix at peace, not swayed by other voices but guided by faithfulness to truth. Your events then arise not from flattery of the outer world but from the unwavering presence of God within, quietly turning every moment toward justice, quiet, and harmony.
