“A bruised reed shall He not break…”
Isaiah 42:3
God’s heart is ever seeking and desiring to fill the low places within all of humanity. His grace, like water, naturally flows to the lowest place, filling the void of the human heart. It is to the bruised ones that the Good News of the Gospel is proclaimed in power clothed in the garments of His mercies.
The self-righteous wanted to stone to death the woman caught in the act of adultery. Jesus saw the more grievous evil: self-righteousness clothed in the conceit of the religious.
“A bruised reed shall He not break…”
It was the religious priest and the Levite who passed by the wounded in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. It was the disciples who could not see the heart of the woman who broke the alabaster box and poured the precious ointment upon Jesus. They could not see the brokenness of heart that inspired such lavish worship. God sees the heart while men behold the external. To know the flow of this grace through our own lives, we must know our own brokenness.
“A bruised reed shall He not break…”
He comes to speak encouragement to all who struggle within the isolated and seemingly hopeless grip of sin, depression, loneliness, cruelty and oppression of the world. He is never far from those who call upon His name in sincerity and in truth.
“I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you.”

Giving Birth to Evil
I’ve seen this several times in dreams and visions so I’m going to post it. What I’ve seen is a woman dressed like a nun only she was pregnant. Then I saw what she was giving birth to and it wasn’t a human child but rather snakes, many many snakes that quickly departed from her as soon as she had given birth to them. What comes to mind is the serpent from the garden of Eden who twisted God’s Word. I get the feeling that these snakes represent lies or a twisting of God’s Word that is going to be spread about. I further believe that the woman in the dream represents organized religion. Anyone who dares to disagree with “her” will be branded a heretic and a hateful individual.
As with anything I post here take this to prayer and see what the Lord says to you
Revelation 16:13-15
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.”
It is a day of great deception of slumber and fading lamps –
Hebrews 10:24-25
“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
I texted this out to some friends of mine 4 days ago seems to fit with your vision.
The deception is wrapped in the hidden things that are NOW transpiring.
God seeks to warn His own, but few comprehend the ferocity of that which will suddenly break upon us.
May we remain alert upon the watchtower…

This is a wonderful expression! God’s grace is ever flowing and moving into those places that need it the most.
Funny how those religious ones never sense a need for grace.

It may be that religion is the highest form of deception. It provides enough truth to inoculate the heart from His convictions…
Thank you for taking the time to comment; it is appreciated.
