3Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

4And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

5Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

6And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

Esther 5:3-6

Biblical Context

Esther asks the king for a favor, inviting him and Haman to a banquet. The king promises to grant her request, even to half the kingdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, Esther is a state of consciousness awakening within your mind. The king represents your I AM awareness, asking what you will that it may be done unto you. The promise 'to the half the kingdom' is the measure of what your present level of consciousness will admit as real. Esther's request for a banquet is a deliberate act of imagination — she creates a scene in which her desire is hosted and affirmed. By inviting the king and Haman to this feast, she rehearses harmony between seemingly opposing elements—your higher will and the fear or distraction that would block it. The banquet of wine becomes a symbolic theatre where you practice accepting a larger possibility, and the subsequent question, 'What is thy petition?' is your inner invitation to revise what you thought possible. The moral is simple: events in your life are states of consciousness; when you entertain a vision as already real, the outer world will align to it. Your true kingdom answers when you stand as the I AM that assumes it is done.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, assume, 'I am the I AM, and this desire is already granted.' See a simple scene where your need is met, feel the relief, and stay with that feeling until it becomes your present reality.
