this text is the latter part of verse 12 - "And a 3-fold cord is
not quickly broken. One very possible interpretation to this
involves God's and man's covenant. Visualize a "triangle" with
God at the top, and 2 prayer partners at the two lower corners. Let
God be "A", and a husband and wife - "B & C." God makes a
covenant with us individually. We can accept or reject His terms, but
we cannot modify them. Should we accept His covenant, we understand
that it is based on the ""Atoning, Redemptive work of Christ.
Reconciliation with God on a covenant basis is <u>only</u> possible
because the LOgos - the Word - became man, and as man undid for us
what Adam caused. Christ the man took the penalty of death on our
behalf, - for the soul that <u>sins</u>, it must die. Christ's death
on our behalf frees us to receive God's offer of forgiveness and
reconciliation.</b></font></p>

these 3 sections to Marie and me following our marriage in 1948.

ministry to which God called us together to share, "Two Are Better

Ontario for meetings. I was reading Charles Haddon Spurgeon's daily

birthday present. One of the readings that year was on Zechariah
12:8. God powerfully spoke to my spirit, and seemed to say that about
the time of the return of His Son, we would see this promise
activated. And because Gentiles - the non-Jewish nations - have been
grafted into Israel's olive tree - we too could claim these promises
made to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.</font></p>

Joshua to give Israel the land of Canaan (present Palestine), as a

on the unusual blessing that flows from a minimum of an hour a day to
engage in the use of one's "Devotional Prayer Language.": It is a
highly edifying gift from God to one's spirit. When married couples
individually give themselves in obedience to God to this privilege
and blessing, they will then find that "Prayer Multiplication"
becomes a distinct possibility and blessing.</font></p>
