Inner Resurrection and Courage
Acts 4:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The apostles are teaching about Jesus’ resurrection, and the temple authorities oppose them, seizing and imprisoning them for the night.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this scene, the outer officers are not merely men; they stand for your mind's old guards of doubt and fear when a new idea—resurrection, a new life of consciousness—begins to stir. The priests, captain, and Sadducees grieve because the people are being drawn toward a state unseen by their conditioning. Notice how the arrest is not punishment from a distant God, but a signal from your I AM: you are about to press through an old limitation. The 'next day' suggests a coming birth; eventide is the contraction before the expansion. When you feel the heft of being held, realize you are literally being held by your present sense of limitation—your belief that you are bound to the old story. The remedy is to choose the inner state that you are free, that the resurrection power of Jesus is your own life awakening. Assume the feeling that the tomb of lack is empty and that the new life stands ready to emerge through your consciousness, here, now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene by silently telling the inner guard, 'Release me now,' and feel the I AM unbinding you. Stay in that sensation of freedom for a minute.
