The Shadow That Heals

Acts 5:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 5 in context

Scripture Focus

15Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Acts 5:15-16

Biblical Context

The passage describes crowds bringing the sick, and the shadow of Peter healing them. All who were brought were healed.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, this scene declares a universal law: healing is the fruit of a state of consciousness, not a miracle happening to you from without. The street becomes a stage where perception and belief unite to manifest health. Peter’s shadow is not a physical shade, but the aura of an inner I AM—an embodiment of realized consciousness that lightens and heals. When crowds carry the sick and those vexed with unclean spirits, it shows that the outer world simply reflects the inner light you consistently dwell in. If you reside in the health you seek, the external conditions rearrange themselves to match your inner certainty. The healing that occurs is not contained in a touch, but in the presence of a definite inner state you refuse to consent to disease. Thus, your own inner shadow—the calm, confident sense of being well—can overshadow limitation and draw into your life the people, events, and conditions that validate wellness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume perfect health as your present state, and feel it real. Then imagine your presence casting a healing shadow over others you encounter today.
