My Time is Coming.....to starve all the gods of the earth
by Linda Jackson
7/10/2017 / Poetry
Two words from My mouth,
"I Will"
Spoken thousands of years ago and yet to come
An hour when evil will be frightfully still
"I Will"
Remove all things from the face of the earth
Men, beast, birds, fish, the wickedness of men's curse
"I Will"
Cut off the priests of old and new
Those who lift hands to rocks and trees
Who pray to satan and Me
Many of old and also now
Turn their backs on Me, to others they bow
Hush!
Be silent I say
For a day is near, a price must be paid
On that day the viloent liar in My house will be removed
A cry from their lips fall from where they once stood
"I Will"
My words forever stand
"I Will"
Punish those who bring viloence and deceit to My house and land
A terrifying wail from the guilty ones
A fearful thought of what is to come
My lamp will search for stagnant spirits, impure and foul
They say in their hearts, as if they know Me so well
That I will not do dvil or good
Then they place Me on their shelf
Wealth they worship
Buying homes and gardens that yield
Places they will not live in
Nor enjoy the fruit of their field
Listen!
It's near and coming soon
My great day
One of wrath, trouble and distress
Destruction, desolation and darkness thick with gloom
Listen!
It's on its way
A warriors bitter cry
A trumpet sounds against cities
And towers high
"I Will"
Bring distress on men
For against Me they have sinned
My Word like a bell has rung
The fallen will walk as if blind
Blood made dust
And flesh as filthy dung
"I Will"
In the fire of My jealousy purge all from the earth
The wailing cries to idols will be consumed
I will not share My glory with the gods of sun or moon
Silver or gold will not deliver from the day of My wrath
The earth will be devoured, the mold has been cast
Gather together, I cry to My own
Those who love My Name
Remove yourselves before this furnace of anger
As the chaff falls, so brittle and dry
The blaze will burn as it falls from the sky
My enemies will see My hand
They will be driven out, leaving the land
Destruction of those who put My children in chains
Those who soil and dishonor My Name
A portion of My children will be removed
However, I always leave a faithful few
The enemy restrained, My children lie down to rest
I take care and restore, ready for more tests
The pride of the enemy, the boast of their lips
Has gotten My attention
Their arrogance never quits
Evil doesn't like being thrown into the wilderness
Yet their land will become forever desolate
A place of nettles, as souls shrivel in salty pits
I give power to those who follow Me
Power to take the fortunes as evil falls
Able to inherit the land
As My nation answers My call
My mighty voice will terrify the hearts of the worse
I will starve all the demon gods of the earth
For awhile they continue to hunger
Wanting children even from birth
These demons will fall, shuddering when I speak
My light will shine in the darkness
Knees bowed to idols become shaky and weak
Great cities will crumble, some then and more to come
Prideful cities, secure in what they have done
My sword will srike
One of Truth and Light
I stretch out My hand
Against the weight of the night
Desolation, a city, parched and dried
I lay bare the evil ruins as they try to hide
Spiritual ruins, where wild beasts roam and rest
Those who pass by wave their hands in contempt
My children mingled with the world
Rebelled, became defiled
Mean and full of misery
Many today are repeating history
The fallen and lost say to Me
"We Will Not"
Listen to the voice in our hearts
Accept Your instructions as You speak
Or trust You, for our desires are what we seek
"We Will"
Spoken long ago by children who broke My heart
"We Will"
Spoken by children of today
The words of satan still playing their part
My princes had become devouring, roaring lions of might
Judges, like wolves who hunt and kill
Their greed exposed by My morning light
The prophets I called to serve
Were reckless and treacherous in acts and words
Priests violated My precious sanctuary of peace
My law violently used, causing justice to cease
How My church today is much the same
The dark spirit that dug pits before
Stands ready, waiting for those they call to open their door
Only in Me people are righteous, those who believe
I bring My unfailing justice to light for all to see
But the unjust know no shame
They have become what they claim
"Surely it is Time"
For My people to honor My Name
Time to obey and turn from their crimes
"Surely it is Time"
For I have left ruins, cities laid waste
"Surely it is Time"
For obedience to take place
But there is an eagerness for evil to grow
A time for the corrupting heart to disobey what it knows
"Wait"
For Me, I cry
Because of all the corruption I have seen
"Wait"
For the day I rise
To face the evil that darkens men's eyes
"Wait"
One day I will decide to gather
The kingdoms and nations all
The unjust and unworthy
Their will be many who answer this call
"Wait"
While on this great number I pour out burning anger
All the earth devoured
Consumed by My great power
Destroyed by the heart of a passion that burns
My desire to purify lips of those willing to turn
"Wait"
For a day will come
When My people will feel no shame
For what their rebellious hearts have done
Prideful ones will be removed
Only the power of My hand can clean where they stood
Many of My children wait for that day
When the spirit of this world will be taken away
Never again will the filth of self centered man
Be allowed on My Holy Mountain to stand
I, Lord of the universe will place My foot on this Mount
A surging power causing a might split
Evil voices will cry out for Me to quit
I speak of a remaining part
An humble people, those who hold Me in their hearts
Long ago they took refuge in My Name
A day is coming when much more they will claim
A time to see the power of My healing hand
My children will be fully clean
No more in lies or wrongs will they stand
No trembling in fear for on Me they will lean
On that day My daughter of Jerusalem will rejoice
Rejoicing with all who have made Me their choice
The oppressed and outcast I will gather in My arms
I will save the lame, keep them from harm
How I love them, the scars on My hands show how much
How I love them, My hope is that they cry for My touch
The power of My love among My people
Will turn shame to praise
This will happen in all the earth one day
Through Zephaniah I have shown a glimpse
Of how I will terrify and starve the gods of man
A glimpse of how I will lovingly care for My lambs
Before the very eyes of My children
I will restore what was lost
A time when the whole earth will see this done
A time to honor the Father, Spirit and Son
~~~~~
My feedom cost You, the King of Israel, so much
You chose not to judge me as I deserve
You will have Your remnant, those who stand on Your Word
You by my side
The enemy cleared away
In hate they will cry
A day, an awesome day, all tears will be gone
An eager passion and desire will shine on my face
My hand will rise as You take Your place
You Lord God in my midst
You are my warrior who saves
Victorious over my deadly grave
Lord I caused You so much pain
Oh, how I have broken Your heart
Only through Your tender mercy can purity be regained
My seeking You, thrills You so
A cleansing then goes through my very soul
Your renewing love I will know and feel for sure
No darkness left to dim a love so pure
A time coming in all the earth
A time when I will be free from the fallen one's curse
