Neville Goddard on Acts 9:17-22 - Mystical Bible 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.

20And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

21But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

22But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

Acts 9:17-22

Biblical Context

Ananias lays hands on Saul, restoring his sight and filling him with the Holy Spirit. Saul then rises, is baptized, strengthens with food, and immediately begins preaching Christ.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene you are Saul, the mind clinging to old identifications. Ananias is the inner messenger of faith, entering the house of your thoughts and calling you brother Saul as a sign of recognition, not judgment. The Lord Jesus appearing on the road is the I AM within you waking to the truth that you are already seen, loved, and completed. The scales that fall from Saul’s eyes symbolize the dissolution of limiting beliefs; sight returns as inner discernment and the Holy Ghost fills the vessel, energizing a new life. Saul remains for a few days, resting in grace, then instantly testifies that the Christ is present and that the Son of God is proclaimed in every heart. This is your inner sequence: restoration flowing into ministry, fear yielding to faith, knowledge yielding to demonstration. When you declare, you move from quiet conviction to outward proof that you are the Christ in action.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already sighted by your I AM and feel the inner scales dissolve. Then step into your day with the declaration that Christ is present within you, allowing your inner ministry to begin now.
