Esther's Inner Request
Esther 5:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Esther 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Esther 5:3 presents Esther asking the king for what she desires, and the king promising even half the kingdom. In Neville’s view, the king is your I AM, and Esther is your inner state of perception issuing a decree on your consciousness for abundant expression.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Esther’s utterance lies the law written in your own consciousness: the king asks what wilt thou and what is thy request. It shall be given thee to the half of the kingdom. The king is the I AM present in you, the awareness that can only answer with certainty. Esther embodies the state of perception that dares to decree, not beg. When you give your answer, you are not petitioning outside forces; you are stating a finished fact to your own deeper self. The magic is not in the words but in the assumption—feeling the wish already realized, living from the end. The half of the kingdom represents unlimited possibility accessible through your assumption. Sit in the silence, repeat your desire as already done, and feel the gratitude begin to rise. Your inner government then responds by turning thought into form, showing that the outer world is simply the echo of your inner decree.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, like Esther presenting a petition to the inner king, state your wish as if already granted. Feel the relief and gratitude as if the kingdom were yours today.
