Neville Goddard on Acts 26:30-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 26 in context

Scripture Focus

30And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

31And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

Acts 26:30-31

Biblical Context

Earthly rulers rise and privately conclude that Paul has done nothing worthy of death or imprisonment. This outward judgment echoes an inner sense of innocence in the scene.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theater of consciousness, the king, the governor, and Bernice symbolize states of mind—rulings and memories that inspect our life. When they rise and declare that this man has done nothing worthy of death or bonds, they reveal how an inner verdict of innocence can precede any external outcome. Nevillesque psychology teaches that the world reflects the state of awareness you maintain. If you carry guilt or fear of punishment, the outer scene will align with that feeling; if you revise your sense of self to one already just and free, the inner court dissolves the bonds before any change occurs in circumstance. This scene is a call to assume the truth of your innocence here and now, to feel the relief as if the verdict has already been spoken by your I AM. Your present consciousness is the creator; the words of rulers are merely a mirror, waiting for you to revise the state they decree. Trust the inner verdict and watch the outer life echo that certainty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and replay the courtroom scene. Declare I AM innocent before the inner authority; there is no sentence of death or bondage over me. Then breathe into the feeling of freedom until it feels real.
