Neville Goddard on Acts 7:37-39 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 7 in context

Scripture Focus

37This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

38This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

39To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

Acts 7:37-39

Biblical Context

Acts 7:37-39 presents a prophet like Moses whom the people should hear. Yet their ancestors would not obey and longed for their old life in Egypt.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this story, the prophet is not a distant figure but your own I AM, the living-word that rises in your consciousness as guidance. The wilderness is your mind, a place where impressions come and are tested; the angel and the lively oracles are the vivid commands that awaken your attention to truth. When the fathers refused to hear, it is a symbol of a state of consciousness fixed in old beliefs, clinging to familiar Egypts of lack and limitation. The true Moses is the inner voice that speaks, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, reminding you to listen not with the old ear of doubt but with the inner ear of faith. Hearing the prophet requires loyalty to a new covenant within, not outward rites. As you imagine and dwell in the feeling of the wish already fulfilled, you invite that inner voice to govern your world. The outer events shift to reflect your inward alignment.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume the feeling that the inner prophet speaks through you now. Then revise a memory of resistance by affirming you are guided from within.
