Esther 8:16 Inner Light and Honor

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 8:16 speaks plainly of light, gladness, joy, and honor, but in the Neville lens these are not outer events, but inner states of consciousness. Light is the clear perception that your life is illuminated by the I AM, a seeing that does not blame or beg but simply recognizes truth. Gladness and joy are the heart’s response when you acknowledge yourself as the expression of God’s presence, not the slave of circumstance. Honor is the felt value of your being, the sense that you are already crowned by the Presence that passes no judgment. When you claim these qualities as yours now, you align your inner state with a reality that will rearrange appearances. You are not waiting for deliverance; you are assuming the state of deliverance, letting the imagination redraw the scene until the outer world reflects the inner radiance. The deliverance Esther embodies becomes your inner memory of the I AM rescuing, restoring, and exaltation of your life. Practice from this state: assume the feeling of light, dwell there, and let it wash over your thoughts until skepticism dissolves and your day begins in harmony with that inner sun.
