Inner Sight Awakening In Damascus

Acts 9:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 9 in context

Scripture Focus

17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Acts 9:17-19

Biblical Context

Ananias lays hands on Saul, granting sight and the Holy Ghost. Saul is baptized, eats, and then stays with the disciples at Damascus.

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul's awakening is not a conquest of others but a turning within. The appearing on the road is the I AM within you meeting your former self with a kiss of truth. The laying on of hands is your inner decision to acknowledge: I now receive this visitation; I am the one who sees. The declaration that 'the Lord... hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight' is an inner decree: sight—true perception—belongs to the I AM you truly are. The instant falling away of 'scales' signifies the shedding of old identifications—your past self that tried to justify separation dissolves, and the disciple in you is revealed. Being filled with the Holy Ghost is your consciousness flooded with divine life, imagination becoming fact. The verse that Saul 'arose, and was baptized' marks the initiation of a renewed sense of self; nourishment follows, and you dwell for a while with the disciples—a symbol of resting in the new state within. Here you stand at Damascus: a shifted inner climate where faith, trust, and presence guide every instant. This is not history; it is your continual inner conversion.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are the healed state now—see your inner eye clear as you declare, 'I am the I AM'; feel the Holy Spirit filling you, and remain in that sensation for a minute.
