Inner Idols and Exile Awakening
Acts 7:43 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse calls out those who worship idols, and warns that such worship leads to exile. It marks a turning point where true allegiance is to the divine I AM rather than image.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, this verse reveals not a geographic exile but a mental one: you have built 'the tabernacle' within, a sanctuary for Moloch and a star Remphan—images you worship as power, safety, or success. Each image is a thought-form you entertain, a scene you keep rehearsing. When you feed those images with your attention, you clothe them with reality; you steadily lose touch with the living I AM that you are. The warning that I will carry you beyond Babylon is your own consciousness saying, 'If you cling to these images, you will be moved to a new state where those images no longer govern you.' Babylon is the dream of separation from God inside; exile is the shift of awareness that dissolves idolatry. The remedy is to revise the worship in your heart: replace the idol images with the living presence of I AM, imagine you are already in that kingdom, and feel the reality of your unity with God. Your life then becomes a manifest proof of the inner truth.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I AM the Lord of my life; I now revise every idol image and awaken to the I AM within me.' Then feel it real as if you already stand in the promised land.
