Trinity consisting of one God - Amen! I have heard some preachers try to explain it like an egg .. 3 parts - shell, white, and yoke - yet all one. But I do not see that as being a good example. It still keeps them all separate.
I believe that the oneness comes from submission. Jesus and Holy Spirit so submit to God that they would not do or say anything that God Himself would not say or do. Jesus Himself said in John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Jesus was one with the Father Joh 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
It is as we become one with the Father and with Jesus, and with Holy Spirit, we will see more manifestations and miracles of God on this earth.
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
