Inner Belief and Signs

Acts 8:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 8 in context

Scripture Focus

13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Acts 8:13

Biblical Context

Simon believes, is baptized, and continues with Philip, marveling at the signs he sees. The verse portrays belief awakening into a visible form as the inner state aligns with an outward manifestation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Simon’s moment is a doorway into the law of consciousness. His belief and baptism are not separate acts but a condition of mind that has prepared itself to see power in form. In Neville's terms, the 'signs' and 'miracles' are inner movements that arise when a certain state of awareness is entertained; Simon's wonder is the soul's astonishment at the manifestation of a state it now accepts as real. The apostle Philip represents the attending consciousness that aligns with the new state, not as an external event but as the memory of the I AM unified with action. When Simon continues with Philip, he confirms that he has entered a new inner neighborhood, one where the senses witness what the I AM has declared possible. The crucial point: belief precedes the display; the exterior world merely confirms the interior condition. If you would imitate Simon, you do not chase miracles, you assume the state in which miracles are natural. Expectation, not struggle; awareness, not effort, transforms.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already the believer. Feel the warmth of the I AM within and let the 'miracles' you seek arise as natural expressions of that inner state.
