The Threefold Trinity


Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:12 "A threefold cord is not quickly broken."

When you have need of a cord or a rope, you make sure that its strength matches the required task. A single or double corded rope may be okay for some light chore, but it will certainly break under excessive pressure. A rope made with three cords, however, will afford greater strength and be harder to break. Solomon referred to this threefold cord in reference to relationships and declared that it is never easy for us to stand alone in life's situations. We need each other in order to enhance our strength. He said that two are better than one, and three offer an even greater strength, which cannot be easily or quickly broken.

This threefold concept of strength holds true in the spiritual realm as well as it does in natural relationships. We are designed to be part of a threefold spiritual cord. In I Timothy 2:1, the Apostle Paul told Timothy that the believers should pray and make intercession for all men. We must understand that the Lord entrusted us with the responsibility to be part of the process of helping others to get their needs met through prayer. We are given the awesome privilege of approaching the throne of God for them, yet, we do not stand alone in this endeavor. There are two others who stand with us and are continually making intercession for the saints of God. Romans 8:34 tells us that Christ is sitting at the right hand of God, making intercession for us. Jesus is the Mediator between us and God, the Father, and He prays while the enemy's tries to sift us as wheat. And Romans 8:26 says, "The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us." He helps us pray when we don't know how or what to pray. When all that we can do is groan in the spirit, He speaks to the Father on our behalf. How could our strength ever fail with this threefold bond in the spirit?

I pray that this knowledge will be a strength to you as you face the challenges ahead. When it seems you are all alone and you don't know what to do, remember there is always someone praying for you. Regardless of the uncertainties and battles that you are facing, you must believe that there is a threefold cord that is working in your favor. God is calling others to stand in the gap for your needs and their prayers will be joined with the intercessions of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. You must also be sensitive to the Spirit because God will call you to this same special place of intercession and much of the outcome will depend upon your prayers. Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, and the believer; the strength of this awesome threefold cord cannot easily or quickly be broken.
The “Father, Son and the Holy Spirit”…
Amen!

May He Bless You and Keep You Today!

With Great Love
