Inner Saul, Bold Witness
Acts 9:20-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Saul immediately proclaims Jesus as the Son of God in Damascus, astonished listeners, while his strength and certainty of Christ increase as he verifiably proves that Jesus is the Christ. This mirrors an inner conversion where belief shifts from opposition to truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Act by act, the Damascus moment in Acts 9 becomes a map of your own inner awakening. The man Saul, filled with zeal, is suddenly seized by an inner voice that names him as a speaker of truth—the Christ within you speaking through your faculties. When Saul preaches in the synagogues and asserts that Jesus is the Son of God, he is not performing a miracle in time but revealing a state of consciousness you can enter now. The crowd’s amazement is the confirmation that a new dominion has pressed forward in your mind: the I AM, awaken, and the old objections dissolve under the weight of undeniable inner evidence. Saul increases in strength as the inner conviction settles; he proves that this is very Christ by the consistency of inner testimony that becomes outer action. In Neville's terms, the Kingdom of God is not a future event but a present state you awaken to through steadfast assumption and revision: you assume the truth of your Christ-being, you revise any fear or doubt, and you feel it real in the sunlit I AM. Then your thoughts begin to assemble evidence, as if Damascus itself were inside you, confirming your new kingship and fidelity to truth.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively, assume right now that you are the voice through which the Christ speaks; say, 'I am the Son of God' and feel it real in your chest. Then revise any doubt by affirming that your inner authority governs all your actions and that the Kingdom is already within.
