“THEY SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH!”

Genesis 2:21-25                           (ESV)

“21 So the LORD GOD caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.

22 And the rib that the LORD GOD had taken from the man HE MADE into a WOMAN and brought her to the man.

23 Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." 

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and “THEY SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH”.

25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.”   

A Godly man and his wife share a bond that is indescribably unique.   When the time comes that 

My “THEY SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH” they literally are incomplete without the other.  GOD establishes this in Genesis 2:24, directly after putting the heavens and earth into existence.  It is not a coincidence that “the enemy” is introduced quite literally in the following verse of Genesis 3:1 as the minds of mankind will become a huge battleground since.   

Having the ability to SEE in our hearts and minds that “THEY SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH” is not something that all people have been blessed with.   1 Corinthians 2:14 says “The ‘natural person’ does not accept the things of the SPIRIT of GOD, for THEY ARE FOLLY TO HIM, and he is not able to understand them because THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED.”  Since “things of the SPIRIT of GOD” are “FOLLY TO” those who are natural, they don’t have the ability to comprehend them.  It can be frustrating, even maddening, when they cannot SEE what is so plainly apparent to us in the SPIRIT.  

The enemy always has a counterfeit available in an attempt to make us think his plan is an “improvement” on what GOD has ordained.  “Same-sex” unions CANNOT be marriages, no matter what courts of law may say, for GOD instituted marriage and HE ALONE gets to define them!  Now I have a few friends who are in same-sex unions and I don’t judge them because they are different than I am.  I’ve heard it said “Don’t Judge others because they sin differently than you do”!!  Only GOD can judge, and I’m not HIM.   

“THEY SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH” is part of GOD’s Perfect Plan, and the enemy cannot improve that!  Same-sex unions cannot produce life, just like the enemy cannot bring PEACE!  The counterfeit will always appear to have glamorous results, but “THEY SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH” is part of GOD’s Perfect Plan!!!
