Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 8:4 becomes not a history lesson but a manual of consciousness. The king is the I AM within you; the golden sceptre is the sign that you are welcomed to pass from dream to action in accord with divine purpose. When Esther arises and stands before the king, the inner state of readiness becomes actualized; this is the moment your mind says yes to what imagination has already named true. The Presence of God is not distant; it is the steady awareness that you are royal, worthy, and an image of God. To live this, you practice obedience and faithfulness: accept the sign, revise doubt, and feel yourself standing as sovereign over fear. The outer world follows the inner assurance: the wish fulfilled dwells in you the moment you remain in that presence. I AM, extended to you, grants permission to move; your authority is restored the instant you choose to stand.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, picture the king's gilded sceptre extending toward you, and silently say I am accepted and I stand sovereign now. Feel the warm light of approval filling you as you rise, and move as though this inner decree were already law in your world.
