Inner Awe in the Church
Acts 5:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Acts 5:11 describes a sudden, shared awe that follows troubling disclosure within the community. It marks the inner accountability that truth’s presence invokes in the mind.
Neville's Inner Vision
Great fear, in the Neville reading, is not hostile emotion but the felt presence of inner law waking in consciousness. The 'church' is a state of collective awareness, a particular mood of I AM knowing expressed as a body of people who hear and respond. 'These things' are inner movements—pictures and stories you have rehearsed—that reveal whether you are living from truth or from a hollow image. When such movements collide with the real order inside you, the mind experiences awe—the taste of reality pressing on belief. This awe is not punishment but an invitation to redirect attention, to consent to the law of your own life and to the power of imagination to bring it forth. To align with that law, assume a state of integrity as your present fact, revise any memory of deception, and feel it real as you abide in the I AM. As you do, the fear softens into reverence and the church of your consciousness expands into a calmer, clearer sense of truth in action.
Practice This Now
Practice: seated comfortably, close your eyes, and imagine you are now the aware, upright I AM; feel the awe as truth moves through your thoughts. If a fault or fear arises, revise it in your mind to align with that truth until it feels real.
