John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone.

Beginning in 2008 the vision and bible school that God so graciously gave Wade Taylor beginning in 1968 came to an abrupt end, falling into the ground and dying.

We now wait for God to raise up and bring forth His seed of promise in another, that the vision fail not.

 Two in One Yoke
Charles Haun

Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you."

This yoke is for two. Truth always has two aspects. The believer must always be tied in to God. It is marvelous, this "hookup" between God and man.

The Amalekites were defeating the Israelites, but when Moses held up his hand Israel prevailed; when he dropped his hand Amalek prevailed (Exodus 17:11). This was not just Moses swaying the battle, nor was it just God. It involved both being yoked together. The Lord will not plow the whole field alone.

King Herod, Junior (the grandson of Herod the Great) took James, the brother of John, and put him in prison. One would think that God would deliver James. But this did not happen, and James had his head removed (Acts 12:2). Herod saw that this pleased the Jews.

Therefore, his next action was against Peter. Unlike the case of James, the Church prayed "without ceasing" when Peter was in prison. The Lord delivered Peter. Why did He deliver Peter, but not James? Because the Church plowed in the yoke with God.

When the Egyptian army trapped the children of Israel between the mountains and the Red Sea, the Lord did not part the sea. Moses cried to God, "Help." His response was (Exodus 14:15,16), "Why are you crying out to me? Lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it [yourself]." Yet in verse twenty one, we read, "The LORD caused the sea to go back." Did Moses divide the Red Sea or did God divide it? Neither, both of them together divided it.

We are to take His yoke upon us, and learn to move together with the Lord. The Lord knows His place in the yoke.

"And they went forth, and preached every where,
the Lord working with them, and confirming the
word with signs following" Mark 16:20.

Mark did not say, "they worked with the Lord," rather, "The Lord worked with them." The reason the Lord was able to work with them was due to the fact that they were in the yoke with the Lord. The Lord cannot work with some because they are not in the yoke.

The Lord does not work alone. It takes two, working together, the Lord and you.
