Cigar Becomes Ashes

There are people that really want to give up smoking. It can be done. Nothing is impossible. It is not impossible that land is held back from the sea. The one above has a mighty hand, and he can use you to do impossible things too.

Ms. Daniels studied and wondered about Cigar the man. She really did not know what he was made of, but she knew that he was not human. Ms. Daniels believed that he was nothing but the junk that he made. She believed that he could be turned into ashes because he was like the tobacco that he used for a smoke. Ms. Daniels wanted to capture him and lock him up. Her father had made a machine to destroy him before he had passed away. He never got a chance to try the machine on Cigar because he was also killed by Cigar. His name was Mark Daniels. He was a scientist. Mark knew that Cigar was not human, that he was very strong, but really had no power at all. Ms. Daniels studied her father’s notes and instructions on how to use the machine. The machine was a big furnace ten times hotter than Cigar. Ms. Daniels knew that Cigar was a demon of smoke and fire, but there was a smoke and fire worst than he. Her father knew the same thing because he studied his Bible and read about the lake of fire in Revelation. Mark Daniels knew that there was a fire for demons and that was how he came up with the idea of his machine. Ms. Daniels wanted to destroy Cigar for killing her husband, father, and grandfather. It was not only for that reason, but he was killing others too. He was killing others just like the cigars that he made and smoked.

Ms. Daniels began to wonder how she was going to get Cigar into her machine. She knew he was an evil business man, and she knew that Cigar was sending spies to her factory. Ms. Daniels had the machine hid away in the factory in an isolated room, and she talked with Jim. He was the man that was a spy for Cigar and the man that had the right crushed foot. Ms. Daniels told Jim to go out and get Cigar and to bring him into the factory. She also had a talk with the rest of her employees after that. Jane was another spy and employee in the factory, but she happened to be out sick that day. She did not come to work. Everything was going just right, but Little Benny did not want any part of Ms. Daniels plan. He knew that it could be dangerous. She knew Little Benny was tensed up and nervous, and she had a talk with him alone.

Benny said, “No machine can hold him!”

Ms. Daniels replied, “I’ve got to try.”

Benny said, “I do not want to be seen by Cigar.” 

Ms. Daniels put a baseball cap on Little Benny’s head and a pair of eye glasses on his eyes. “Stay with me Benny. Don’t leave.”

Little Benny got a giant box of cigars and put it into the machine. “Let’s test the machine, and let me see what it will do.”

So Ms. Daniels tested the machine and the cigars turned into little dust particles until there was not one speck of dust to be seen. “That’s how Cigar is going to be,” said Ms. Daniels.

“Well,” said Benny, “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try, but Cigar is not only flesh. He is spirit. His spirit may not die.”

Ms. Daniels said, “But he will be weak if he doesn’t die. It will take at least 3 days before he can gain his strength back, and he will find another body.”

“I wouldn’t bother him,” said Benny, “Not unless you are going to keep him in the machine forever.”

Cigar Comes to the Factory

Jim brought Cigar to the factory not knowing the whole truth. He told Cigar that Ms. Daniels wanted to meet him and to do business with him. Cigar jumped to run greedily. Jim took Cigar to the room where the machine was when they got to the factory. Ms. Daniels and all of the employees were waiting as if they were having a meeting.

Ms. Daniels said, “Thank you for coming, Cigar. I am working on an experiment. I know that you are a man that can never die or be destroyed. People are buying your cigars everywhere, but they are dying. You are a man with money and power. There are people that want to smoke your cigars and live a long life. Only you have that life to give. We need to clone a part of you to make a special ingredient. If I make a great profit from the Cigar, you will get half of the profit.”

Cigar raised his right eyebrow at Ms. Daniels. He frowned a little. He said, “You must be a very intelligent woman, but no one will live long as me.”

Ms. Daniels hung her head and walked to her machine. She replied, “No, but they will be healthier smokers, and they will be able to smoke without worrying about lung cancer.”
Cigar felt that Ms. Daniels had something up her sleeve. He noticed how her eyes were fixed on the machine. Cigar knew it was a trap. He knew that Ms. Daniels wanted him destroyed, but he believed that nothing could destroy him. Therefore, Cigar went along with what Ms. Daniels was planning to do.

Cigar Gets Into the Machine

Ms. Daniels talked Cigar into getting into the machine. When she turned it on, Cigar did not feel anything at first. He noticed that it began to feel hot, and he began to sweat. Suddenly, the skin on his face began to peel and he was beginning to feel like he was in torment. He saw himself falling apart, and he was slowly turning into ashes. Cigar began to panic and scream. Cigar became ashes all of the way, but the ashes were not being destroyed.

Ms. Daniels Warning

Little Benny saw a man limping on his right foot. There was a girl that worked beside Benny named Jane that secretly worked for Cigar Keys. She told Benny that the man foot was crushed by Ms. Daniels. Little Benny did not believe her.

“It’s true”, said Jane. “His name is Jim. Ms. Daniels got mad at him because he tried to sneak and sell poisonous cigars into the company made by Cigar Keys. He is a business man of the streets…”

Little Benny would not let Jane finish her sentence. “I know who he is and what he is all about. I would have crushed Jim’s foot and would have thrown him out of this company.”

Jane said, “She had a reason for not throwing Jim out. She’s keeping him and those cigars to find out more about Cigar Keys. I think he’s afraid of Ms. Daniels. She’s a very powerful woman. She can bring Jim down to nothing.”

As Little Benny listened to Jane, he just happened to look up and saw Ms. Daniels standing upstairs looking down at everyone. Her eyes stayed fixed on Benny, and he soon dropped his head. There was something about Ms. Daniels that made him nervous too. Yet, he wanted to talk to Ms. Daniels about Cigar Keys. He was happy that he wasn’t the only one that knew about Cigar. It was the unknown about Ms. Daniels that he feared. Little Benny did not know her ways and wondered why she wanted to help him. He did not know that Ms. Daniels knew about him. Little Benny thought Ms. Daniels was too good to be true in helping him and offering him a job the way she did.

Soon, in no time, Ms. Daniels called Little Benny upstairs. She took Little Benny into her office. She said to him, “Be careful talking to Jane. She’s trouble. I don’t trust her. Keep to yourself and do your work.”

Benny wouldn’t mumble a word. He just shook his head in agreement. Little Benny could not look Ms. Waters straight in the eyes. He could since her attitude changing towards him, and he could feel her hurting. However, Ms. Daniels kept starring at Benny. She almost said something to him about looking down all of the time, but she thought that he might be shy.

“Is there anything that you would like to know?” asked Ms. Daniels.” Do you have any questions or comments?”

Benny wanted to tell Ms. Daniels about Cigar. Something inside was telling him not to mention him right away. “No, Ms. Daniels,” said Benny. “I have nothing to ask.”

“Then you may go back to work,” said Ms. Daniels opening the door for Benny to leave her office.

After Benny left Ms. Daniels office, Ms. Daniels wondered about Benny. She wanted to talk more to Benny because she knew he knew Cigar Keys. Ms. Daniels also knew that Benny was a good guy, but she wasn’t quite sure of him. She watched him a while to be sure. Ms. Daniels never trusted man.

Benny at the Factory

The next morning, Ms. Daniels was waiting for Little Benny to arrive. She thought about the wrong she had done. Ms. Daniels paid Benny's boss to lay him off so that he could be her employee. She was going to pay Little Benny big bucks. Ms. Daniels heard about Little Benny's hypnosis rumor.   She knew Cigar which was the man that Little Benny kept thinking he was seeing. That is why Ms. Daniels wanted to be close to Benny. Cigar had killed her husband and her grandfather had died from smoking Cigar's poison.

Ms. Daniels made a special electronic cigar inhaler with liquid medication for the lungs after her grandfather's death. She wanted to make a cure for lung cancer. It was an experiment that worked for some people that were not in a bad stage of lung cancer. That is how Ms. Daniels became rich and was able to build a factory to make more.

Finally, Little Benny arrived and was in Ms. Daniels's office. She told him what the job was all about and knew Little Benny would be interested. Ms. Daniels knew that Little Benny had been a  cigar smoker. Little Benny gladly shook hands with Ms. Daniels and took the job he was offered. After a couple of weeks, Ms. Daniels's attitude changed towards Benny, and he began to see some things that did not seem right in Ms. Daniels's factory.

Ms. Daniels

Little Benny lost his job. He was working at an auto service. Little Benny became depressed and almost went back to smoking. It was the first day of winter and Little Benny was walking home in the cold. Someone in a red Mercedes pulled up alongside of Little Benny. A dark headed woman with long beautiful hair rolled down her window and asked Benny to get in. Little Benny hesitated and thought about how brave the woman was to ask him.

"Where are you going?" asked the woman named Ms. Daniels who was in her late thirty's.

"I'm going home," said Benny. He gave Ms. Daniel directions as he was locking in his seat belt.

Ms. Daniels saw little Benny trembling because he was so cold. She had seen Little Benny before and heard a little bit about him. Ms. Daniels was not usually a friendly lady. However, she wanted to know Benny. When she got to his house and saw where he lived, she passed right on by it, and said, " I'll bring you back. Are you hungry?"

Little Benny said slowly, "Well, no.....I'm alright."

Ms. Daniels knew he was lying. "Let's go get some steak. I'm starving. Don't worry about paying. I will pay for us."

Little Benny was nervous of Ms. Daniels. She was too nice for him. Little Benny did not meet people like Ms. Daniels everyday. He was use to paying for his own meals, driving his own car, and looking out for himself. Little Benny thought, "This woman has got to want something."

Ms. Daniels was curious and wondered why Little Benny was walking in the cold. She asked, "Are you getting warm yet? What are you doing walking in this cold weather?"

Little Benny began to drop his head and answered sadly and said, "I just wanted to get a little exercise. I don't live that far from my job. I got laid off today."

Ms. Daniels would not say any more to Little Benny until she got to a steakhouse to sit down to eat with him. When they were through eating, she drove him back to his house and she asked, "So you got laid off today, huh?"

Little Benny just looked out of the window. He felt that Ms. Daniels was a rich woman, and he felt embarrassed.

"It's alright, Little Benny. Would you like to work for me?" asked Ms. Daniels.

Little Benny asked, "What kind of work is it?"

Ms. Daniel replied, "I work in a special factory." Ms. Daniels handed Little Benny her address to the factory and told him to meet her 8:00 in the morning.

Freedom

Little Benny kept on fighting and kept on fighting. He did not give up in life, and he knew he was free in Christ. His world would sometimes seem dim, but the Lord would brighten it up again. Sometimes Little Benny would tell the Lord how tired he was, but the Lord would tell him to keep going. He could not see his bright future, but he knew that God had something in store for him. Little Benny continued on in his tasks that the Lord had for him to do. He had to be led and guided by the Holy Spirit.

After Benny had stayed locked away from the world for several months, he felt something move him to build a church hide out for lost children. He did not worry about the children coming to him, and he did not go to the children. Little Benny knew that he would be sent. He did not know how he was going to build the church, and an old friend that took care of him when he was a child was put into his memory. His friend was like a brother and a great carpenter. Little Benny knew that he was being prepared to save lost children.

Little Benny knew that he would make new friends along the way. He knew that there would still be temptations, suffering, and strife. Benny knew that there would be some things that he would not want to face. Through it all, he knew that he would have God on his side to lead and guide him. Little Benny was free from trying to get through life all by himself.

Spending Time With God

Little Benny began to open his Bible more and more. His world was growing dim. Cigar was the devil, and he knew that the Bible was making Benny stronger. Sometimes Little Benny cold see Cigar sitting in a dark corner starring at him and trying to figure him out. He kept right on reading his Bible and studying and ignoring Cigar.

After Little Benny was through reading and studying, he began to pray silently. He knew that God was listening and that made him have more faith. Little Benny was praying for the children of the world and families everywhere. Little Benny spent long hours in worship and in prayer. He grew in wisdom and knew just what to pray. There was color in his world again. Still, Cigar had to do his job tempting Benny. Little Benny still had to do his job rebuking him.

The Hypnosis Rumor

Cigar decided he would leave Little Benny’s mind alone and visit his eyesight. He appeared to Benny and became real. Little Benny saw that Cigar was going to take over in the real world. He could see things that nobody else could see. When the rest of the world did see, they did not know that they were being visited by an evil spirit. Cigar appeared to the world as a regular man. His biggest aim was children and teenagers because he knew that he could fool them easily. Cigar knew that they were looking for something and someone to follow. He knew that they were bored in life, unhappy, and looking for something to get involved in. He aimed at the weak children of the world and used them to tear down the strong.

Little Benny tried to warn everyone about Cigar. He knew that children were disappearing because of Cigar. The strong and good children that had not been taken by Cigar, but they became depressed and unhappy at home. Their parents began to notice a change in their children, but they were too busy working in the world of work most of the time working long hours. It was getting hard for them to communicate with their children because they had not really been communicating for so long. The children were under peer pressure and in school. They were falling in their grades, and had too much homework. Test and exams were very difficult to past. Cigar used all of those things to bring the good children down.

It seemed that no one in the world understood but Little Benny. He knew what was happening to the good children when the children had no explanation for it. Little Benny tried talking to them and told them that it was evil trying to intrude into their lives. However, the kind of talk that Little Benny had with the children was too hard for them to accept, and their parents began to notice Benny. Although Benny tried to help, things began to turn for the worst for Benny. Rumors began to spread that Benny was a crazy man. They learned about the smoking addiction that he had because he told his own story to help someone else. People believed that Benny was in a deep state of hypnosis and was controlled by it in his subconscious. Doctors believed that Benny entered into a deep and relaxed state of hypnosis where he is awake and aware of everything that goes on around him.




After the rumor, Little Benny shut out the rest of the world. He stayed home to lay low and remained quite. He remembered what the Bible said about how we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities (Ephesians 6:12).
