This is a very beautiful message posted by Jodi under my message, Building the Spiritual Walls of Jerusalem. It has blessed me so much as I just re-read it.
I am posting that message to the Church thread. I may still post this under that message, but it is so good, and some may not read it under my message, so I am posting this here as a new message. It could go so well under the Law thread, that I had a hard time deciding which thread to place this under. I think it will do well on this Church thread. Hope you enjoy this and receive the blessing in it.

( Jo Marie)
I felt Led to post this with an exsplination
for those of you who are reading this Poem I would like to give to
you its history...This was given to me Through Much Prayer and
innercession of the holy Spirit...It is Based on the scriptures
Ezekiel 16 and luke chapter 7 vrs37-50
This was inspired as he began to show me the rabbit trail through his
word on our search for his Bride which is yet a work in progress...
But I want you to know that when The Spirit Hit me on this Day the
Love he felt, the Love that was pouring all over me That He Feels for
his bride still Brings tears from my eyes and a sorrow to my heart
that cannot be quenched....My God does he Love her...He has loved her
for a time That Reaches out past Years and eternitys I havent the
words..I havent the words Just Know That It is so very Powerful....All
he has ever wished was for her to return to Him...Return to him....Oh
My Jesus....oh My Lord!!! He says Return to Me My Love and I will Heal
you...Do you not know the Love I have for you...how long will you let
your shame come Between us...How long will you hide from me...My most
beautiful Rose..Turn Back turn Back...And come to me!!! come to
me...Come To me
Woman
I am a woman
Who was dieing
as I lie in the pool of my own blood
It was your face I saw
Your hand that pulled me
from the very depths of anguish
That had become my being
Only the tears
that caress my cheeks could hope to exspress
my desperateness
As I bow at your feet
For I am wordless
I was once a beautiful Jewel
And now I feel so unworthy of your magnificence
My Lord will you acknowledge me?
When I have forgotten you?
Will you have compassion for your servant?
For I am but a woman
And an unrighteous one at that
My sins are as the stars in the evening sky
A lack of merit is the cloak
that veils my shame
I am a disgrace
Nevertheless it is love that I see in those eyes
It draws me to you
I have longed for you all of my life
Dare I kiss the feet of my lord?
Tears falling down my face
Enveloping your feet
with the rain of repentance that floods my soul
Not a word comes from my lips
As I let down my hair
What will you think of a bride so disloyal?
My hands tremble
As I break the Alabaster box
And begin to anoint the feet of my king
I have been told that the Poem is deep...And yes it indeed is
But in the mystery lies Great Beauty and Great Love....The times
are moving faster and faster...and with the speeding up of time...so
will be the speeding up of revelation...The Spirit is on the move
again Across the Waters...In Luke When this story is told...no name
was given to this woman...she was known simply as the woman of many
sins...she was looked down upon by the People and the religious
leaders in the house hold....for indeed Jesus was reclined in the
house of a Pharisee..named Simon....
How Did the Lord show his bride to me?
He showed me a woman....her cloths where ripped off of her, and as far
as I could see or Tell... It was religion That had Beaten the Law into
her for yrs and years.... For The Law can not free you from Sin...it
only serves as a Dividing line between Sin and Righteousness.... And
the only clothing that could be given to her by Law was a cloak of
Guilt and shame, For she was indeed a sinful woman...after years and
years of Abuse From the religious
leaders she began to Forget her Lord and King...With each passing day
the light grew dimmer...as her eyes where closed to the truth of who
she was... Suddenly This woman catches a glimpse of her Lord!!! Her
King and she begins to remember him....Her eyes begin to open...and
she realised that if she can just reach him she can be healed...So
this woman runs Home and she grabs her most valuable possession, and
she searches far and wide to find him....And when she finds him..he is
not just anywhere he is in the house of a Pharisee...She finds him in
the house of The Law...The house of the Religios Leaders who had
already found
her unworthy.... found her lacking...
And she has to pull herself past all of those voices who had condemned
her.. ripped off her robes...and Casted her away...she had to crawl
through all that had
held her captive...To fall at his feet..The feet of her king!!!! She
knew that he could reject her..for she had been rejected..by Law she
was a woman of many many sins...But she held on to that hope that hope
that he Would still accept her and Redeem her into something
beautiful...something worthy..and her tears started to fall like
rain..for she was so sorry that she had forgotten him...she was so
sorry...she had let these men dictate to her..
Making her forget her own name...
She new why He had come..and What he was about to do for
her...and she began to anoint Her king....Prepairing him...
The beauty of this story is not only that she was healed...But that he
accepted her and made her whole again...By Law He could have cast her
away from him...for she was unfaithful...By Law he could have stoned
her...rejected her...Put her far From Him...
But it was Love...His Love..That cries out across eternity for her
redemption...That cries out for her....To be
Made whole again....And It was By His Blood That she was Reconciled to
him...a Bride without spot nor wrinkle... And this is the Name he gave
you...
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down
from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their
God.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all
things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and
faithful.
Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the
fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be
his God, and he shall be my son.
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all
liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.
Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the
seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me,
saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high
mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God,
Rev 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a
stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at
the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the
names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Rev 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the
south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in
them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the
city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Rev 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large
as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve
thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are
equal.
Rev 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and
four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
Rev 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the
city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished
with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper;
the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
Rev 21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate
was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were
transparent glass.
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and
the Lamb are the temple of it.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon,
to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is
the light thereof.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the
light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and
honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for
there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations
into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that
defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but
they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
...... And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come.
If you cannot Hear and do not believe the church still capable of
religion then you remember her story the next time you judge your
Brother through the eyes of the Law...The next time you with hold a
cup of water from the sinner..the ones you deem unworthy....The next
time you see someone who is filthy and full of sin... will you draw
back and recoil?...Jesus Christ Died for men such as these...He shed
his precious blood for them to be redeemed and made clean..Yet in two
thousand years The church is still crippled because she refuses to
open her eyes...she still looks upon his flock through eyes of the Law
and not with the Eyes of Love....Oh when oh when will she turn back
and see
how long before she Open her eyes and remember who she is...And just
what you have done...
Oh lord Jesus How
Long....
