Inner Court, Outer Pride

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 6:4-7 places the outer court of the king as the arena of the mind where decisions are born. Haman's presence in the court is the ego seeking to hang Mordecai—the inner quality opposed to your true nobility. The king's inquiry, 'What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour?' is the inner law of your consciousness asking to honour what you truly value. When Haman schemes for credit, he reveals his fevered belief that honour comes from without; the I AM, your true self, now answers in the voice of the king and sets a plan to honour Mordecai publicly. This moment unmasks vanity by showing that honour is a function of inner alignment, not the ego's self-importance. The Presence of God operates as the king's decree, turning external threat into the disclosure of inner order. The Kingdom of God is the realisation that your life is the expression of your inner state; you can rewrite it by choosing to honour the good in others, thereby dissolving malice and amplifying love.
