Continual Prayer and the Word
Acts 6:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Acts 6:4 calls for two continual practices—prayer and the ministry of the word—with devotion shaping daily life. It frames inner fidelity as the foundation of faithful action.
Neville's Inner Vision
Acts 6:4, in the Neville register, reveals the inner posture that births reality: you will give yourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word because you are the I AM choosing a state of being. The 'we' who minister are not a distant group but your inner disposition; to 'give yourself' is to commit to a steady atmosphere of consciousness where attention itself becomes prayer and the 'word' becomes the seed of lived truth. Prayer is not supplication but alignment—turning your entire awareness toward the truth you wish to live. The 'ministry of the word' becomes the inner articulation of that truth—the voice of your higher self declaring what is real. By maintaining this state, feelings align, events reorder, and action flows from that sense of being. Do not chase external results; revise the inner picture until it feels utterly real. In this light the verse asks you to inhabit the inner reality you desire, dwelling in the I AM and letting your inner Word sculpt the outer world.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, repeat: 'I am the I AM; I give myself continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.' Then imagine your day already overflowing with that Word, feeling it real here and now.
