Inner Court Favor: Esther 5

Esther 5:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Esther 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
2And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Esther 5:1-2

Biblical Context

Esther steps into the inner court, arrayed in royal attire. The king sees her, grants favor, and she draws near by touching the golden sceptre.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther's scene is not a mere moment in history but a living parable of consciousness. The inner court is your own state of awareness where you stand, bold and ready to be seen by the ruler within. The king represents the I AM—the ruling Presence that holds the sceptre of permission. When Esther stands there and the king sees her, she experiences a realignment of being: favor becomes the tone of her life because she has assumed herself to be accepted. The act of drawing near and touching the top of the sceptre is your own decisive contact with the point where inner decision becomes outer expression. The favor she obtains mirrors your inner mercy made outward as conditions shift toward your desire. The miracle is not external, but the moment your consciousness consents to itself as beloved and authorized, your world mirrors that grace. Practice this daily: enter the inner court of your mind, imagine the gaze of the king upon you, and allow the sense of being welcomed to soften fear into faithful expectation.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are Esther in the inner court. Feel the king's gaze rest on you and imagine the sceptre’s touch granting you access to the reality you desire.
