Esther Inner Petition and Providence

Esther 7:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Esther 7 in context

Scripture Focus

3Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
5Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
Esther 7:3-5

Biblical Context

Esther speaks to the king, asking for her life and the life of her people, because they are facing destruction. She reveals the danger and seeks rescue through royal favor.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther’s words become a living assumption in the consciousness: a queenly I AM requesting the life of a desired state and its people. The threat she names is a thought-form stirred by fear, not a fixed reality. By declaring let my life be given me at my petition, she demonstrates the practice Neville teaches: assume the end and speak from it. The king’s challenge Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so is the inner voice of the law of your consciousness testing the boldness of your claim. In Neville’s terms, the intercession is an act of revision: you revise the scene by feasting on the feeling of being already protected and allowed to live in the state you seek. When you acknowledge that the only power behind the dream of doom is your forgotten life, you awaken to the I AM that grants life. Deliverance appears as you stand in the truth that your life and your desired state are already yours, awaiting only your recognition.

Practice This Now

Assume and revise the scene: sit quietly, breathe, and declare I am the life of this state now realized; I have found favor in the sight of my inner king. Feel the relief as protection dissolves fear and the scene shifts toward safety and restoration.
