Neville Goddard on Acts 6:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 6 in context

Scripture Focus

9Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

10And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

11Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.

Acts 6:9-11

Biblical Context

In Acts 6:9-11, a faction from the synagogue disputes Stephen. They cannot resist his wisdom and the Spirit, so they hire witnesses to accuse him of blasphemy against Moses and God.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the players in Acts 6:9-11 are figures in your inner drama. The synagogue is a chorus of habitual thoughts; Stephen is the I AM speaking through you with wisdom and the Spirit. When the disputing arises, remember: truth cannot be resisted where consciousness is awake. The wisdom and the Spirit he speaks with are the living demonstration of your own inner discernment—the imagination lighting the inner kingdom. The suborned men mirror the tendency to project fear onto others, turning a dispute with truth into a drama against Moses and God—the outer face of inner law and the living order you once accepted. The cure is to realize that the battle is within; you win by assuming a state of consciousness in which you are the authority of truth, the voice of the I AM. Let the external voices fade as you rest in that reality. Practice: revise your state to I am the wisdom and the Spirit speaking through me now and feel it real.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner state I am the wisdom and the Spirit speaking through me now; when doubt arises, feel the certainty as a present fact and let your words rise from that still center.
