As we are led by THE SPIRIT in a consistent fashion, our unity is perfected and we have a singleness with Him.&#160; This unity expresses the fullness of Love and produces the fruit of THE SPIRIT for others to receive.&#160; Eve represents the soul of man which can be beguiled or deceived by the serpent.&#160; The ego was lifted up and challenged the Word of Our Heavenly Father thus division was created.&#160; Self interest always promotes division whereas submitting to THE SPIRIT promotes unity.&#160; We must not allow ourselves to be corrupted in our minds or in our souls (Eve) and give up the unity found in Christ.&#160; Any teaching that clearly omits the singleness of being in Christ or promotes division will corrupt our minds at some point.&#160; We must not entertain the opinions of even well-meaning teachers who have strayed away from the simplicity, purity, and singleness that is in Christ.&#160; We must guard ourselves from being deceived, even in the most subtle manner.<\/p>\n<p>The following words from Joyce Morris give precious insight into God\u2019s great purpose in our union with the Lamb. <\/p>\n<p>She writes, \u201cThe Father has shown me in glimpses that He has an order in which the marriage of the Lamb must take place.&#160; He also spoke very clearly and said, \u2018My sons must <i>become the Lamb.\u2019&#160; <\/i>To become the Lamb, you must first marry and have a union with the Lamb!&#160; As God swallows up your soul to where all that is left is Him, you become the Lamb because you <i>are one.&#160; <\/i>In order for you to become the Lamb, you must also eat ALL the parts of the Lamb.&#160; Just as with Israel before leaving Egypt, they had to consume the whole lamb and nothing could remain uneaten.&#160; You have to eat the hind parts.&#160; You have to eat the head.&#160; You have to eat the inward parts.&#160; You have to eat all the uncomely parts of the Lamb.&#160; In&#160; other words, you have to eat the Word, and the Word is the Lamb!<\/p>\n<p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; \u201cJohn 1:14 says, \u2018And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us\u2026\u2019&#160; Then in chapter six we read, \u2018Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, <i>Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.&#160; Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.&#160; For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.&#160; He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, <b>dwelleth in me, and I in him.&#160; As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by my Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.&#160; <\/b>This is the bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: <b>he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever\u2026it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE.\u2019<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; \u201c\u2018These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth\u2026\u2019 (Rev. 14:4).&#160; In other words, THEY LIVE BY THE WORD!&#160; But there are many parts of the Word that your flesh doesn\u2019t want to eat \u2014 <u>so your self-will pops up its head and says<\/u>, \u2018Well, that part is not for me.&#160; I don\u2019t need to walk that out.&#160; That part isn\u2019t for me, it\u2019s for that person over there \u2014 look at what they\u2019re doing.&#160; I don\u2019t have to eat that.&#160; I can do what I want, say what I want, and think what I want.&#160; Nobody is going to tell me what I can or can\u2019t do.&#160; I don\u2019t want to love that person.&#160; I don\u2019t want to forgive that person.&#160; God, I\u2019ll give you this part of my life, but I want to keep that part for myself.\u2019&#160; The reason so many parts of the Word are uncomely and displeasing to the flesh, is because if you eat and digest those parts of the Word, then <i>your soul will have to change and die out to its self-will!&#160; <\/i>The more you eat of the Lamb, the more your soul will be swallowed up.&#160; And when God has swallowed up everything in you that is not like Him, <i>you will have become the Lamb.&#160; <\/i>You will be totally one!&#160; You will have entered into a place <i>in Him<\/i> where you will go out no more, and He will be all-in-all in every area of your life.&#160; There will be no more temple within, because God will have filled the whole house, \u2018\u2026<i><b>for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.\u2019<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; \u201cThe marriage of the Lamb is all about God\u2019s sons (and eventually all creation) becoming the Lamb, or taking on the nature of the Lamb through union with Christ.&#160; It is all about two becoming one, and as you continue to go deeper and deeper in your relationship with Christ \u2014 your union is producing a Son.&#160; As you walk in oneness with the Lamb, He is causing you to BECOME THE LAMB.&#160; In <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/ylt\/Isa%204.2\">Isaiah 4:2<\/a> we read, \u2018In that day shall <i>the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious.\u2019&#160; <\/i>Why shall the branch be beautiful and glorious?&#160; Because the branch abides in the vine and from their union they bear the nature of God!&#160; The branch has been thoroughly purged, or pruned, and now yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness.&#160;&#160; In this way the bride of the Lamb has been clothed in the glory of the Son.&#160; She has been arrayed in fine linen, clean and white.&#160; She has put on the new man which <i>is Christ <\/i>and has come into the nature of the Lamb!&#160; This is the way it is when you are married to the Lord!&#160; When you keep your relationship with Him first, and take time each day to go <i>within <\/i>and commune with Him, people actually see the glory of the Lord upon you!\u201d&#160;&#160;
