The Inner Trial of Belief

Acts 6:11-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 6 in context

Scripture Focus

11Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
Acts 6:11-14

Biblical Context

False witnesses and a stirred crowd bring Stephen to an unrighteous council, charging him with blasphemy against Moses, God, and the law. The scene reveals how outward accusations echo inner beliefs seeking to control the sacred.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this account, the outward drama is a mirror of inner states. The suborned witnesses, the stirred crowd, the council—these are not symbols of a historical trial alone; they are projections of belief speaking against your true I AM. The 'holy place' and the 'law' signify your attachments to forms you fear losing when truth presses in. When you feel accused, you are hearing the inner lawyer who defends an image of yourself as separate from God. Yet the Jesus of Nazareth within you is the living principle that dissolves such fear, not by combat but by recognizing what you are: awareness, consciousness, the witness. If you imagine the scene as already resolved in your favor, the whole trial collapses into a quiet conviction that you are one with the divine order. The moment you align with the I AM and revise the story from limitation to wholeness, the false witnesses lose their power, and your inner sanctum remains untouched by the crowd.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the posture of the I AM as the steady witness within you. See the council dissolve into light and hear yourself affirm: I AM free; I am not judged; feel it real now.
