The Inner Appeal to Caesar
Acts 28:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul is examined and found no valid cause for death. When the Jews oppose him, he chooses to appeal to Caesar rather than accuse his nation.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner theatre of your mind, the examination of Paul stands for your own rehearsals of thought—tests of how you see yourself. 'There was no cause of death in me' signals your awareness that you are not condemned by fear, guilt, or past failures; the 'Jews' who speak against him are the inner voices of condemnatory thought, the arguments of limitation. To 'appeal unto Caesar' is to turn your attention to the higher law within, the Caesar of your consciousness—the governing principle or I AM that commands the field of experience. Not accusing your nation means you refuse to blame collective conditions or others for appearances; you acknowledge you stand under a higher jurisdiction, the inner order that declares you righteous and free. By embracing this inner appeal, you align outer events with a new, inner statute: the kingdom within governs the world without. The moment you accept that, you release yourself from the density of appearances and rest in your true sovereignty.
Practice This Now
Open your eyes to imagine the inner governor—the I AM—as your Caesar; then revise the scene by seeing yourself released and supported by this higher law, while quietly assuming, 'I am innocent and governed by the I AM.'
