Neville Goddard on Acts 25:24-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 25 in context

Scripture Focus

24And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

25But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

Acts 25:24-25

Biblical Context

Festus declares Paul not guilty of death. Because Paul appealed to Augustus, the case is sent to Rome.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the scene, the outer judge and crowd are inner voices of testing and verdict, while Paul is your disciplined self. The declaration of 'not worthy of death' reveals that your true nature cannot be condemned; the appeal to Augustus symbolizes your willingness to advance the scene to a higher order of consciousness. When you identify with the I AM, you understand this drama as a mental movement within you, not an external decree. Your task is to revise the sense of judgment and feel the relief of being already free from condemnation. The 'sending' to Rome becomes a symbolic move of attention toward a broader field of realization, where that disciplined aspect travels to the seat of power to complete its work. Your inward verdict precedes outward outcomes, and the law of your consciousness governs what appears in your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the inner verdict: 'I am not condemned; I am free.' Then imagine Paul stepping into a brighter light, symbolizing your focused energy moving to a higher level of awareness, and feel the release set in your mind.
