We’ve seen the telephone book trick. The thin pages are easy to tear one at a time. Stack a thousand and it’s near impossible to separate one side from the other.
Toothpicks are the same. One snaps easily enough. Try to break a hundred, and we’re lucky not to wheeze from exhaustion. We just can’t get the combined thickness of the wood to shatter the way we want.
Take a close look at good rope. We’ll find not one cord, but two, three, or even four. They are interwoven, and they become stronger in the process.
A cable-stayed bridge might have thousands of thin cables, strung one at a time, combined into a massive bulk that can support thousands of tons.
How much strength will we have as prayer warriors if we band together with other believers to open the windows of heaven and reach unto God with our needs and requests?
Ecclesiastes 4:12 says:
“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
When the pastor calls for a men’s prayer breakfast, we should attend every time. It’s not about the breakfast. It’s about the prayer. When men bond in a common purpose and lift their needs before Christ, changes will happen.
The women’s Tuesday study session is the same. A unified voice lifted unto God will stir the Father’s grace, and he will reach unto us and answer our prayers.
Let’s take a length of string. Cut it into as many strips as there are members in our family, our prayer group, or our Sunday school class. Tag each one with a person’s name. Now twist them together to form a braided rope, so that the names dangle freely at one end. That’s what happens when we pull together in prayer. We become more closely bonded, we are in touch with one another, and when a need arises, we are shoulder-to-shoulder, ready to help in time of trial.
Now try to break that braided cord. It can’t be done. Our prayers together are more powerful than those we pray alone.
When we link arms in agreement, success is already on the way.
