Neville Goddard on Acts 26:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 26 in context

Scripture Focus

6And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:

7Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

8Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

Acts 26:6-8

Biblical Context

Paul speaks of standing judged for the hope of God's promise to the fathers, a coming fulfillment the tribes eagerly await; he argues the possibility of resurrection is not incredible. The passage frames faith as an inner, living expectancy rather than a distant event.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the 'hope' Paul names is not a future rumor but a state of consciousness you may embody now. The promise to the fathers represents the I AM’s steadfast expectation of life renewed within you. The twelve tribes' constant service mirrors the disciplined attention of your mind turned toward this truth, day and night. External judgments or skeptics become distractions; the real inquiry is whether you believe in your own capacity to rise from a dead state of mind. If you can imagine a belief or habit resurrected by your awareness, you have enacted the archetypal resurrection. The question 'Why should it be thought incredible that God should raise the dead?' becomes a personal affirmation: God raises the living I AM whenever you are fully conscious of it. Your present awareness is the covenant fulfilled within you, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, place your hand on your chest, and declare mentally 'I AM the resurrection and the life.' Then revise any lingering doubt by feeling life return to every part of you for five minutes.
