SHALOM BELOVED FRIENDS IN THE MESSIAH. We want to give you an update on the online school after a time of seeking Abba about how we should proceed going forward with the practical matters of starting the school. We need to stay true to the vision we have received from Abba, because along the way there are a lot of pitfalls and distractions. We are making progress, but it is slower than we thought. We have someone that is busy on a constant basis working on the website of the school, creating templates, and doing layout and design. Abba is truly faithful in guiding us through the process, showing us the way. We need to be faithful also to abide in His rhythms, following Him. It is by no means an easy task. With every assignment there are challenges, obstacles, giants, and certainly resistance. Abba is also dealing with us with performance and perfectionism in this process, because we cannot give birth to this vision if it comes from anything inside of us except the heart of the Father. With that said, we won’t be able to launch the school in September. In this process, Abba is still stripping us from the structures of the systems that we grew up in and if we rush this process, we will miss Abba. We want to build this school with an unshakeable foundation upon YHVH, and unfortunately, in most of our false programming (that comes from the serpent seed) in today’s life, we want it to be done yesterday, with a consumerism mentality full of performance. Abba is speaking to us about the root of ‘rushedness’, doing things at a pace that is out of the rhythm of His rest. When we rush, it means we are driven by fear. We have had to lay down the pressure of the times that we live in, in order not to move out of His rest. He is showing us that we need to be patient with this birthing of the school, because if we move too quickly then we miss His heart in the process. As you know, it takes time to cultivate a harvest for the King. The more we abide in Him in the process and in who Abba really is and what He really asks of us, the more we see how deeply the serpent seed of fear-driven performance and perfectionism really has gripped our hearts. This is the spirit driving the educational system, and we need to search our hearts in order to return to His garden. We are so thankful that Abba reveals it with so much love. We can just humble ourselves before Him and repent. Beloved, we are in a time where we cannot afford to miss Abba’s heart. We need to fix our gaze and keep it fixed. Staying in His presence, listening with great sensitivity and waiting, only to move when His Spirit speaks. The pen must remain in His hands, He must remain the Author of our stories. We want Him to be the Author of Harvest Life School’s stories, therefore, we cannot make promises now about a timeline. We simply need to trust in Abba’s perfect timing, and restfully abide in His leading. We want to thank each and every one of you for the seed that you sow into Bridal Harvest & Harvest Life School. We bless the seed that you will receive a 100-fold harvest from the Father. We honour you for sowing in faith and love with an open heart. May your friendship and fellowship be blessed with Yeshua. I urge you to start to journal His voice. It is so refreshing to listen to what He tells you, instead of only writing your thoughts and prayers and petitions to Him. Take the time to listen to Him, take the time to write down His words. I want to encourage you, beloved, to listen to your SHEPHERD, your BEST FRIEND, your KING, and your BRIDEGROOM. He wants to be part of every process and season that you go through. John 1:3-5 (NKJV) “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” May your spirit comprehend the meaning of this Scripture, which is to entrust everything to Him because ALL things were made through HIM, and true life will only be found in Him, to give you light and to guide you through the darkness. Much love and blessings, Rion & Sarah
