Esther's Inner Petition
Esther 9:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Esther 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
On that day, the king is presented with the tally of those slain in Shushan, and Esther is asked what she desires; the king promises to grant her petition and any further request.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the scene as a moment within your own consciousness. The day that reports of apparent slaughter stand before the king is the moment your awareness surveys the field of your life and says, 'I see it as it is.' The king’s question, 'What is thy petition?' is the I AM turning to you, inviting an assumption by which you will live. The Jews slain in Shushan and the ten sons of Haman symbolize the fears and limitations you reckon are finished; yet the king’s readiness to grant Esther’s petition points to the governing truth within you: your state of consciousness can issue commands and they are backed by power. Esther represents your capacity to name a people—the spiritual seed within you—and to rule them by inner decree. When you accept the petition—‘grant it,’ ‘do further’—you rewrite the inner script and extend your dominion from one corner of the mind to all its provinces. The victory already exists as a mental present-tense fact; your work is to align with that fact, revise any appearance of defeat, and let the I AM act through your assumption. Deliverance unfolds as you maintain the royal posture of certainty.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM the ruler here; I petition for complete deliverance and expansive dominion in my mind.' Then feel the relief as if the decree is already done, and rest in that feeling for several breaths.
