Pause for Inner Discernment
Acts 5:34-35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Acts 5:34-35, Gamaliel cautions the council to pause and judge their plan before acting against the apostles. The passage highlights discernment and restraint as crucial when confronted with a new movement.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let the council be your outer mind and Gamaliel the inner law that speaks within. When he says, 'Put the apostles forth a little space; take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do,' hear a instruction to grant interior space to a fresh impulse. The apostles symbolize living ideas seeking expression; your world answers to how you regard and permit them. To act hastily is to project outward judgment onto inner reality, thereby contracting your power. By pausing, you acknowledge a higher mind—the I AM—that perceives the impulse without fear. The doctor of the law represents the social belief that constrains, but inner discernment frees you when you align with the Law within. If you revise your stance and let the impulse breathe, you are not weakening truth; you are allowing it room to show itself. The result is not a battle with others but a transformation within, where conviction becomes reality through a conscious assumption.
Practice This Now
Pause now and assume the I AM is watching your inner council. Silently declare, 'I grant space to truth and revise any judgment that blocks its birth.'
