LOVE – FAITH – TRUST

“THREE STRAND CORD”

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:

and the government shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,

The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

(Isaiah 9:6 KJV)

While there is much transpiring in the natural and spiritual realms I believe that the Lord is building and solidifying a three strand cord within His people.  I believe this season of refinement is underway and is of vital importance to prepare us for the days ahead.

This three stranded cord consists of Love, Faith and Trust in the Lord and His Word.  Picture our lives as a three stranded cord that has become frayed at the end.  Sometimes our “strand” of Love is over burdened and stretched while other times perhaps Faith or Trust is stretched or over burdened.  When this happens to a stranded cord we often take a lighter, torch or match and burn the ends to make them solidified in strength and unity.  The fire is the refinement and now many of us are being refined and going through “the fire” of refinement.  

I feel in the Spirit that those who are passionate and humble before the Lord are being refined and edified in this three strand cord of Love, Faith and Trust. This three stranded cord is being unified, strengthened and prepared for the times ahead.  

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 4:7 KJV)

We must have all three “strands” working in harmony in strength, power and unity which will create within us an overwhelming personal and spiritual peace.   As the Lord’s people submit humbly to this refinement process of this three stranded cord of Love, Trust and Faith. We will have the overwhelming peace of the Lord which surpasses all understanding.

The season is upon us and we must take personal accountability regarding our own spiritual journeys and salvation.  Be transformed into disciples!  We are called to disciple the nations and preach the gospel.  Perhaps you will be the “spark” that creates a fire of passion in others.  Embrace the refinement process as you draw closer to the Lord and remember, ministry happens through us not because of us! 

 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do:and the God of peace shall be with you

(Philippians 4:6-9 KJV)
