Dracula

“Dracula” means “son of the dragon.” “Dracul” the devil

The Serpent’s seed, his children, the sons of darkness, and the children of the Wicked One. He works through the children of disobedience, Ephesians 2:2

2 Corinthians 11:14, the apostle Paul says false apostles, deceitful worker transform themselves into apostle of Christ. Satan transform himself into a angel of light. It is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness.

The First Clothes

Adam and Eve were clothed in glory and honor. It was never God’s will for them to know good or evil. They only had eyes for him.

Psalms 8:5, he crowned them in glory and honor.

After the fall, they gathered leaves from the garden to make aprons to cover their nakedness and to heal their wounds that were beginning to break out on their bodies.

Ezekiel 47:12 speaks about the fruit of the trees being for meat, and the leaves of the trees being for medicine.

Revelation 22:2 picks up on the thought that the tree of life bears twelve fruits every month. You would think that the fruit from the tree of life would be sufficient to grant eternal life. God said in Genesis 3:22 that man could eat the fruit from the tree of life and live forever.

Why does he need tree leaves for healing? Because in creation, everything has to have a covering or a coat.

When Adam and Eve fail, they lose their covering, or coat. They saw that they were naked. They ran and hid themselves among the trees of the garden.

God shed the blood of animals. He took their skins and made clothing for Adam and his wife. He used their blood as a covering for their sin.

“Unto Adam also and his wife did the LORD God make clothes of skins, and clothed them.” Genesis 3:22

Blood took the place of fruit sacrifice. This is why the scripture says that in the process of time, Cain and Abel offered sacrifices. Cain’s sacrifice was rejected. Abel’s sacrifice was accepted. Cain’s sacrifice was fruit-based. Abel was a blood sacrifice. Abel prospered. Hebrews 11:4, Abel gave a more excellent sacrifice by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God was testifying of his gifts.

Whomever you bow your knee to, you take on their skin

It appears that whoever you bow your knee to, you take on their skin. The personality known as the Devil and Satan bowed to the serpent and was bound to the serpent’s skin, as described in Revelation 12:9 & Revelation 20:2.

It is interesting, as you look back over the history of humanity during different eras of the fashion industry, to see how people adorned themselves in various animal skins define their status in society.

Sometimes, you recognize pimps by their outrageous clothing. You could recognize a prostitute by their clothing. You could recognize a thief by their clothing.

The cultural skin of Dragular is his cape, black clothes, and the fact that he lives in a coffin. He was known for his brutality.

There many dragulars in our culture. They don’t have the capes, but they suck the blood of their victims. They suck the life flow out of people.

The blood that they suck may be a paycheck. It could be your emotional life. It could be your life energy. They suck the life out of you.

Another way to identify a villain is through their tattoos. Their tattoos are the story of their lives.

The Serpent’s Bite

Satan has to work through people. When you bow, he injects you with venom. When you eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, its venom paralyzes you. It causes fear and a loss of confidence.

An example of eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is when you get into a relationship with a person. You begin to worship this person. You give your body outside the covenant marriage. You saw this person, and you saw that they looked good. You saw that being in a relationship with them could bring you happiness, meet your life’s needs, and contribute to your overall success. You just ate the fruit.

The only proper antidote for a serpent’s bite, Satan’s lock on your life, is the blood of Jesus Christ.

The Bible says, ‘they overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony (Revelation 12:12). They love not their lives even unto death.

Jesus takes away your filthy rags. He washes and cleanses you with his blood. His blood redeems us from the hand of the enemy. His blood is a witness of God’s grace and favor. His sacrifice is supernatural meat and drink (John 6:55). His blood makes a way for us to come into the presence of God with fear.

The Love of God is poured out in our hearts by His Holy Spirit

I remember a period in my childhood. The house next door to us was set on fire. The fire burned part of our roof. When it would rain, the water would seep into my bedroom. I recall a specific day when water came in; I was enveloped in the warmth of love, so focused on that love that I became unaware of what was happening around us. It was like a coat enveloped me.

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus.” Hebrews 10:19

You can enter the holiest of holy, the Garden of Eden, and fellowship with God. The Sacrifice of Christ made a way for you.

We always cycle back to the beginning

Hebrews 8:2, speaking about Jesus Christ in the role of high priest

“A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.”

When did God pitch the true tabernacle? When he planted the Garden of Eden. Jesus entered the original place of sin with his blood, obtaining eternal salvation, the gift of life for us.

He provides new clothing, as seen in Revelation 3:18. He counseled the Laodicean Church, which was a wealthy congregation. They needed nothing. But in reality, they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. He said, ‘Buy me white raiment that the shame of your nakedness does not appear.

Grace and Peace!
