Read Acts 5 in context

Scripture Focus

19But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

20Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

Acts 5:19-20

Biblical Context

In Acts 5:19-20, an angel frees the imprisoned apostles at night and commands them to go and speak to the temple the words of this life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the prison not as stone but as a belief within your mind. The 'angel of the Lord by night' is your I AM, the conscious spark that awakens when doubt would seal the bars. When the doors swing open, recognize it as a work of your own consciousness, proving you are free wherever you dwell—in you. The command to 'Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life' becomes an inner directive: return to the temple of your heart and declare the living reality you know as Life itself. The words you utter are not about external events but the truth of being; you witness from the living presence within and invite others to recognize the same life you inhabit. Your outer world shifts as you affirm this Life now, and you, I AM, choose to announce it through every outward act.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are free, and imagine the prison doors opening behind you. Then speak aloud the living words of this life as if addressing your inner temple audience, cementing the truth in your imagination.
