Gentle Strength Within

Matthew 12:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 12 in context

Scripture Focus

20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Matthew 12:20-21

Biblical Context

Matthew 12:20-21 speaks of a tender inner posture where the bruised reed is not broken and the flickering flax is not quenched, with inner judgment leading to victory; it also notes that in the Servant’s name, the Gentiles will trust.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture this: the bruised reed and the flickering flax are not failures to be discarded but signals of a tender consciousness awaiting its next movement. In the I AM, nothing is crushed; every weakness is cushioned by immeasurable mercy, and the fading flame is sustained until inner judgment—discernment born of love—breathes it into victory. This is not history but a law of your own mind: mercy and compassion are the atmosphere of your inner kingdom, and healing flows through you as you accept responsibility for your present state. When you claim 'in his name,' you are naming your life with the authority of the I AM, so the outer world, the Gentiles, miraculously align with that reality. The Kingdom of God is not distant; it awaits your conscious realization, and redemption unfolds as the faith that holds firm when appearances seem fragile. Practice this, and you will see that the world trusts the power you awaken within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the mood of the I AM; repeat 'I AM' and feel the mercy cradling your bruised parts, letting the flame stay alive, then affirm that the outer world will trust this inner reality.
