Esther's Banquet of Favor

Esther 5:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Esther 5 in context

Scripture Focus

8If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.
Esther 5:8

Biblical Context

Esther pleads for favor from the king, invites him to a banquet, and promises to reveal her petition the next day; deferment is used as a strategic act toward disclosure.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther presents a state of consciousness rather than a plea for a change in outward events. The king within—the I AM that grants all, and the banquet as a rhythm of inner nourishment—gives consent only when you are prepared to feel your petition already done. Haman represents fear and opposing thoughts; to defer the petition until a banquet is prepared is to allow your higher self to arrange the means and timing. When Esther says, I will do tomorrow as the king hath said, she aligns with the inner law that declaration precedes demonstration. Neville teaches that if you can imagine the feast of your desire already completed and dwell in the feeling of its reality, your outer circumstances will move to meet that inner image. So, you must assume, feel it real, and persist until your inner verdict becomes your outer fact.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the feeling of 'I have found favor' and sit with that assurance, visualizing a quiet banquet of your desire and allowing the next unfolding to come in its own time.
