Inner Confidence in Acts

Neville's Inner Vision

All characters are states of consciousness; the ship is your mind in agitation, the storm your fear. Be of good cheer is the rising faith, the quiet recognition of the I AM. When Paul says, I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me, he embodies the principle that the promise is already fulfilled in consciousness and is now affirmed. The island to be cast upon represents a fixed inner anchor—the unshaken awareness where the outward scene coalesces with the inner decree. The voyage continues, yet the inner claim remains intact; prophecy is a memory of a decree fulfilled within you, not a distant event. Practice: imagine the current condition as already resolved in your inner self, and declare, I believe God, until that certainty saturates your being and the island of peace appears within your awareness.
