Men Made of Dust

The serpent was cursed to eat dust! And we forget that man was molded out of the same.

It was re-emphasized, that the serpent would strike the woman’s heel, and she would crush its head.

Ergo, we expect the venom of the damned beast and belly-crawling reptile, to strike internally and entirely the man or woman

But in an eon in a not distant future, a viper sank its teeth in the forearm of a one named Paul; as it fled from a pile of sticks that were being garnered to make a camp fire

The watchers were all familiar with the legend of the curse: the serpent’s eating of the dust; the dust that we are made of…

The plot twist is thus; that the man’s hand did not swell, nor his body fall dead to the ground.

The viper was shaken off into the fire. And Paul was baptized ‘god’. And I would not have called him otherwise.

When men encounter God, and access Him by inviting His son into their hearts, the action is similar to being born entirely again. Now, even if nothing happens outwardly, new things happen inwardly, and the inward will affect the outward.

I’d equate it to an orphan getting adopted by Bill Gates. The orphan’s skin may not change outwardly, but his or her financial state and status anews. All things are affordable – the best education, the grandest clothes and the coolest toys.

This is what happened to Paul; crossing over from being a mere man made of dust to a man made of God. You see, all men are made BY God, but that doesn’t mean they are made OF God – the God substance. God is made of light; and love among other virtues that might not be relevant to this feature. When God bears us again, we come out His womb made of what He’s made of – just like if a black man is your father, you’d come with a dark skin pigment.

Now adding light and love to a vessel made of dust contaminates the dust. The dust is in one way in need of purification, to get rid of the greater virtues; and here’s where the plot twist lays; that the viper gnaws, but it is not just dust that it has!

The curse was that it’d eat dust, but not light or love! So the venom can’t prosper or bloom or move; for the dusted body is more like an alloy: not copper, not zinc but brass! Not powder, not sugar, but well-stirred milk. The serpent won’t separate the powder or milk or water. Every swig is all the three at once, and not dust alone; which’s against its factory settings; which makes non-effect the venom.

Now… when you too become born again, you won’t be perceived as dust alone, but light. Jesus Himself said you are the light of the world. Ah! But the snake wasn’t damned to eat light! It will instead get into covenant peace with you like Job stated; or how another treatise echoed, that even your enemies will be at peace with you.

Nevertheless; another serpent will return to afflict dusted bodies with disease and poverty and corruption. But when light you embosom, it’ll be the antidote that will retaliate any form of darkness! Remember it made the viper’s venom of no effect in case it made it any far within Paul’s tissues.

Being made of this light will make one as God; thus a god. And all the limitations of dust will halt; and the light’s will scale the walls of your normality and slither to your environs to effect the supernatural, just like this very Paul’s skin when handkerchiefs touched, conveyed healing prowesses. And Peter!? Well, his shadow healed whoever it touched.

Doth not that remind you of a familiar scene? Of Jesus’ robe’s hem healing bleeding issues!

Many refuse to acknowledge that Jesus became man like all of us; but what shall they say of these mentioned specimen! Were they of virgin births as well? Nay, I dare say. But you too can be like them! A man not just of dust, or sin: but of light, of healing, of resurrection, of power, and of the Godhead bodily. If you haven’t Jesus yet, believe in your heart that He’s Lord and savior and giver of this light; accept Him by saying so, and He’ll come right in. If you have Him already; add to that knowledge and understanding and communion, and one by one, you’ll witness yourself manifest each of the forms of light; which include life.

And no manner of darkness or dust, will be able to comprehend this your light!

I return here, two weeks after the post was first written, having seen another meaning within the curse. The snake was told that the woman’s seed would crush its head, and its seed would only strike the woman seed’s heel. The KJV says it’d bruise. Ah! He was bruised for our iniquities, wounded for our transgressions, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by whose stripes we were healed. This ‘woman’s seed’ was Jesus in disguise. And we see His bruising through His suffering and death. But having the Holy Spirit having come upon Him, Jesus only lost the dust part of Him. The curse of the woman was that to dust He’d return, for from dust He came. But Jesus was light too (by the generosity of that Spirit). Light wasn’t told to return to dust.

When the dusted body was out, it lingered alive!

Plot twist again!

That light gave life to his dusted body, and He returned; and crushed the snake’s head. The curse had to be fulfilled, though the devil thought that since he’d bruised first, he wouldn’t be crushed. When you are born again, through Christ, you escape being bruised by heel; for Christ already suffered that! The only reason you think you are being bruised; is because you do not know! And the old adage says ‘My people perish because of their lack of knowledge.’ Do not turn stone to bread. Do not accept your ignorance and sacrifice truth.

Add such knowledge through revelation and communion, and one by one, you’ll witness yourself manifest each of the forms of light; which include life.

And no manner of serpent or its seed, will be able to comprehend this your light!
