‘Be It Known’ (God)

Be It Known (God)

I† took a reed
and I† bruised Him†

I† told you, the peoples
what I† would do

over and over

you knew
'before' I† did it

I† told you why

I† told you
what to look for

but greed had consumed you
and you lost focus
so I† placed a veil on you
I† knew what was
in your heart
already

I† wanted you to see it

and you did
though you hid behind
your shame

and for this shame
you denounced
what I† had done

so I† tore away
from you

but I† didn't tear away
from all peoples
just you
those who denied
what I† had done

I† am Lord†

it is My† decision
it is My† authority
to punish those
who disobey My† commands

it is My† honor
it is through My† love
to discipline those
who know the truth
but fall
they fall by My† hand
in order that they may
secure their right
to the inheritance
offered

it is My† authority
to do so

I† put a charge
before this people

to mature in Me†
to mature in Him†
the one I† sent

maturity knows
this people
from 
that people

maturity knows
the righteous
even in their peril
from the condemned
those who mock Me†

you must separate yourselves
this people
from that people

you must keep faith
and know Me†
inside
deep within

that is how
I† will linger
deep within

let these words be known

says the Lord Almighty God†

(August 27, 2022)—After ‘Be It Know’, He led me to Ezekiel 16:35-43.

…This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children’s blood, therefore I am going to gather all your lovers, with whom you found pleasure, those you loved as well as those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and will strip you in front of them, and they will see all your nakedness….―Ezekiel 16:35-43
