Scripture Focus

Acts 7:58

Biblical Context

Stephen is dragged out of the city and stoned; the witnesses lay down their garments at a young man named Saul.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this story as a map for the living mind. The casting out of Stephen is not a history lesson but a movement of consciousness: an old story of separation being driven from the city of awareness. The stones symbolize the stubborn beliefs that would press in on your self-conception; yet their force exposes the need to revise. The witnesses laying their garments at Saul's feet reveals how your mind offers its evidences to the rising observer. Saul, the young man at the feet, stands as the seed of the awakened self within you, awaiting the rightful authority of I AM. He is not merely Saul of old but the fresh, impressionable I that will come to reign as Paul in consciousness. In this moment, the outer event is a purification of perception: you are not defeated by the stones; you are the consciousness that witnesses their impact and invites a new alignment. The shift is inner: you are the I AM behind the scene, and the outer drama mirrors the ascent of your true power.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly for 2–3 minutes and assume the role of the inner witness. Repeat 'I AM' and feel the old self cast out, the outer garments laid aside, as the rising I AM takes its place as observer.
