Over 22 years ago, We asked The Lord, How do we do this? We knew HE had invited us, and there was no doubting Him. We desperately had to receive HIS instructions for HIS Ministry and for our own personal lives. HIS Word tells us in Jeremiah 33:3, to call upon HIM and HE will show us great and mighty things we know not of. We are so thankful that HE gives us just the right amount of information at the specific precise times. If We knew everything all in one setting, it would create all sorts of chaos for us. OH THE WISDOM OF GOD!! What HE did tell us during those early days of Pioneering Shiloh was this, “Create an Atmosphere for ME to show up, and I will allow you to participate.” We have found this initial and vital instruction from our Heavenly Father to be a sure Compass for us at all times and every situation. Oh The things that we have learned from that initial Pioneering Question are ABSOLUTE. Our greatest Mission and privilege is HOSTING HIS PRESENCE, and through those intimate and sacred meetings we develop and learn oh so much about HIS HEART and the Harvesting of Souls for HIS KINGDOM. Outside of hosting HIM, is no true HARVESTING. Outside of HIS Presence, and HIS involvement, the harvest will not be long lasting. HOSTING HIM, or no true HARVESTING. The Atmosphere has to be right for THE HARVEST. Around this time of year is when generally the greatest harvest takes place in the natural. For each Farmer, how long harvest takes depends on how many acres they farm, how many people they have helping out, and the size of their equipment. But For The Spiritual Aspect Of Harvesting, Which has everything to do with the souls of mankind coming into The Kingdom, He tells us very clearly, “I AM the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit, apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5 ) Harvest Time in the Spiritual realm comes by Hosting His Presence and being diligent to please THE ONE Who has given us the invitation to labor in HIS Vineyard. We are reminded as well that the Highest reward for a person’s toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it. As we Host HIS presence and lean upon HIM for our every instruction for each day, we become more conformed to HIS Image. Being conformed to HIS image will undoubtedly produce a Harvest. We will indeed have HIS Heart. When we genuinely have HIS heart, Harvest takes place. People come into HIS Kingdom. Souls are saved, delivered, set free, and not for just a season, but eternally with manifestations of their life styles hosting and harvesting as well. Our challenge for each of us as we think upon Harvesting is how well are we hosting HIS presence? Life can be so over whelming in these days that we are living in. Seems like when one important thing is taking care of… there are 5 more waiting in line to be attended to. Our Priorities can become loaded down and it surely could be easy to become discouraged if we do not prioritize the most urgent and most important thing first and foremost. If we shift to the side and plan to get back later with HOSTING HIM…. We create our own lack of strength, lack of wisdom, lack of peace, lack of eternal impact, lack of harvesting. HE clearly tells us Be still and know that IAM God. Psalm 46:10. HE tells us The Harvest is plentiful but The Laborer's are few, ask HIM. HIS Word exhorts us Morning by Morning, HE awakens us, and gives us the tongue of the learned. We can not afford missing or postponing meetings with HIM. We absolutely have no heart for harvesting outside HIS HEART. We will become irritable, and very short in patience for people that are in need of an encounter with JESUS. We can never carry HIS fragrance if we do not meet with HIM in the secret place and behold HIS GLORY, and allow time for HIS fragrance to infuse us. We can not solely rely on what we have learned in our past encounters with The Lord…. We need an everyday filling. We need fresh oil in our lamps everyday as we await our soon coming Bridegroom King Jesus. We were created to Know Him, Love Him, and enjoy HIS presence. We are continually aware that if not careful... we can get so busy and so focused on the projects at hand while working in the vineyard and we can forget about HE that is THE VINEYARD OWNER and that HE invited us to join HIM. Precious Friend, The days go by so fast, we know you can testify and also to the magnitude of so many priorities… But we urge you as we take heed for ourselves as well… HOST HIS PRESENCE. Apart from HIM, we will bear nothing but a mess…. wood, hay and stubble that will quickly be burnt up when HE test the validity of our works. And this test will indeed reveal if HIS heart is infused into our Heart through intimacy of the HOSTING OF HIS PRESENCE. It is sobering. We pray this season of Harvest in the natural will be a bountiful Harvest for you in the spiritual realm by way of knowing Him more deeply and intimately through Hosting HIM. As Autumn approaches with ambition of Harvesting and this new season emerging, ALLOW HIS PRESENCE TO SECURE THE LASTING FRUIT THAT WILL REMAIN AFTER TESTED BY FIRE.

Oswald Chambers titled that old Devotional Classic well… “My Utmost for His Highest” ****There will be no utmost for HIS HIGHEST without inquiring of HIM and becoming empowered by Him in the sacred meeting place everyday, not occasionally.
“The Fire on the altar must be kept burning, it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of THE FELLOWSHIP OFFERING on it. The Fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously . It must not go out.” Leviticus 6:12. KEEP THE FIRE ON THE ALTAR BURNING. BURN THE FAT OF THE FELLOWSHIP OFFERING. These words that HE spoke are Life giving.
OH THAT WE HOST HIM AND THEN WE SHALL HARVEST.

“CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE FOR ME TO MOVE, AND I WILL ALLOW YOU TO PARTICIPATE.”
