Courage in Inner Rome

Acts 28:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 28 in context

Scripture Focus

15And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
16And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
Acts 28:15-16

Biblical Context

Believers greet Paul as he nears Rome; he thanks God and finds courage. In Rome, he remains under guard but is allowed to dwell with a soldier beside him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul is not a man fenced by walls of stone, but a state of consciousness recognizing that despite outward restraint, the I AM within is free. The from-thence meeting of the brethren mirrors a rising inner consensus: thoughts, memories, and ideals converge to greet your true self at the Appii Forum of the mind. When Paul thanks God, he is not praising a historian, but acknowledging awareness itself: the I AM that animates every scene. Taking courage is the inner decision to remain fixed in that divine presence, to enact faith as feeling rather than fact. The journey to Rome represents entering the center of your own consciousness, where circumstances may still deliver you to guards of sense, but your Christed self is granted solitary companionship with the guarding presence. The guard is not a jailer but a discipline of attention, a living reminder that you can dwell securely within while outwardly tethered. Your inner kingdom thus remains intact, awaiting your deliberate feeling-state to awaken the reality you desire.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the feeling of Paul’s stance now: I AM here, grateful and courageous, dwelling in divine presence even amid guard. Revise your immediate scene by whispering, I am free, I am guided, I am at home in God.
