Inner Healing on the Island
Acts 28:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul heals Publius's father and, after that, other islanders through prayer and laying on of hands.
Neville's Inner Vision
On the level of consciousness, the fever and flux are not merely bodily woes but the stubborn stories your mind tells about itself. In Acts 28:8-9, Publius's father is healed when a man of inner authority enters the room of the mind and speaks aloud the truth you already are: wholeness. Paul represents the I AM, the living, listening awareness that can lay its hands on a fear-bound state and pronounce health. The miracle is not in external circumstance, but in your decision to assume the state of healing, feel it as real, and let the body catch up. When that inner assurance is felt, other diseases in the island--doubt, limitation, separation--surrender and align with the new occupancy: wholeness becomes your immediate reality. The island becomes a theater where faith is exercised; each healed body signals that your entire atmosphere shifts when you stop doubting and begin living from One Self. You are not waiting for healing; you are the healing you have been seeking.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and consciously assume the state of wholeness now. Place a hand on your chest and say I AM the health I seek; feel the truth warming your body and rest in it for a few minutes.
