Esther 5:5

Biblical Context

The king agrees to Esther's plan and orders Haman to hasten it. Esther has prepared a banquet, signaling the plan ready to be enacted.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther is the image you hold in mind; the king is the I AM that approves and speeds the decree; Haman is the obstacle the mind throws up, and the banquet is the moment of healing—an inner rite that says the plan is ready to be enacted. When the king commands 'Cause Haman to make haste,' the inner self is declaring that the resistance will be rearranged to serve the end you have already imagined. This verse teaches that the moment you decide in consciousness, the outer situation begins to tilt toward the completed wish. The Kingdom of God is not a distant place but a state you enter by assent, by feeling it real, and acting as if the decree is already in effect. The obedience and faithfulness are not external duties but inner alignment: you comply with your own inner plan, and the world follows suit. Keep your mind at ease, trust the end, and let the imagined banquet finalize the arrangement.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and imagine Esther's banquet as the moment your wish is already fulfilled; feel the satisfaction, and silently declare, I am that which I desire, now.
