Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. NKJV
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, which the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. NKJV
In looking at these verses, I heard the Spirit of God say this to me, “When the dust settles then you shall see Me.” This worked its way through a series of 3 words that shall come forth. Enjoy!
This all started from a vision I had of God working and forming a man in His own image. The dust was still swirling around this work as man is being fashioned into His image yet still exists as a spirit in earthen vessels of clay so that the Excellency of God may truly be seen in us and He alone may get the glory.
“The dust is always swirling in the making of a man in My image. I am creating and I am forming with my breath and by My hand into perfection that which is of Me. When I am finished, I stand back and gaze upon that which is perfect in My image, in Me.
Yet when man tries to create, he stirs the dust around his good endeavors and around that which is of his own flesh, striving to make something of himself. He tries hard to attain and build upon that which I alone have destined to be created and formed by Me, by My hand alone.
When one is striving to re-create one’s own image by the work of their hands, the dust is swirling by their own actions of their own flesh. When one is trying to re-define or re-structure their lives into their own choosing, the dust is always swirling by the frenzy of their own activity or by the work of their own hands.
Yet I would say peace. Be still and know that I am God. I alone create a man. I form a man. I breathe into that which I have destined to call My own.
When the dust is swirling by the creativity of man’s own hand, then man’s vision is obstructed to My true purpose. In the swirling of the dust, one can never truly see what is of Me but only that which is of their own flesh or their own good works. But I would say, when the dust settles on that which man is striving to obtain, to maintain, and to sustain, then and only then will you see Me.
1 John 3:2-3 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. NKJV
When I breathe and form that which is of Me in a man, the dust swirls around the work of My hands, for I am alive and I alone am the creator. But when man creates by his own desires for his own greatness or his own reputation, the dust swirls on his behalf. Can you tell the difference, my children?"
