While our niece and husband were visiting from California, we invited our family for a picnic. We had a wonderful time together. As people left, they thanked us for hosting the evening. We felt hosting was our privilege. We were thrilled to be with family.

I want to explore the meaning of hosting the Holy Spirit. Bill Johnson describes hosting His presence as carrying the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Johnson has written a book entitled Hosting the Presence and often speaks on this topic. He highlights Jesus as our example of what it means to host the Holy Spirit.

Jesus gave His believers a great assignment. To accomplish the assignment, believers need to learn to host the Spirit of God. Guest speaker Bill Johnson delved deep into hosting the presence of God.

The senior leader of Bethel Church in Redding, California preached three services last weekend, starting on Friday, Feb 15. At this first meeting, Pastor Bill spoke about hosting the Holy Spirit, explaining that believers can change the atmosphere around them when they learn to turn their affection towards Him.

WORKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Pastor Bill shared that he had always marvelled at the miracles Jesus did. But when he started to understand that Jesus did those things as a man submitted to God, Pastor Bill realized he himself could no longer be satisfied to stay the same.

A revelation is an invitation to an encounter with God, Pastor Bill went on to say. It serves as transformation. John 5: 39-40 says that the Pharisees searched for God in the Scriptures but they were unwilling to come to Him for an encounter.

Pastor Bill told a story of how he used to buy lunch from a small grocery store and each time he would check in with the store owner who had become his friend. Before he entered the store, he would take a moment to be aware of the Holy Spirit resting on him. One day, the store owner pulled him aside and told him there was something different about him.

Reading from John 8, the pastor encouraged the congregation that Jesus is the Light of the world. If they find themselves living in a dark place, they need to arise and shine just as Jesus has commanded.

In Mark 1, when Jesus came to John the Baptist to be baptised, He demonstrated what it meant to be an intercessor. Pastor Bill explained that the baptism symbolizes the repentance of sin but Jesus was blameless.

Reading Genesis 8:6 -12, in which Noah sent out the dove several times after the flood and the first few times, it returned to him, Pastor Bill explained that, like a dove, the Holy Spirit only rests when there is a landing place.

The board will assist in identifying ways the festival can increase its presence in the community, including developing relationships with additional charities and presenting to local civic groups, schools and other organizations. A formal application form for not-for-profits to use to seek Pilgrimage support is under development.

Since its founding in 2015, the festival has made donations through the Pilgrimage Foundation to several charitable organizations, including MusiCares, Dark Horse Institute and Friends of Franklin Parks.

The Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival is a two-day music festival at the Park at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin. Brandt Wood, Kevin Griffin and Michael Whalen co-founded the festival, hosting its inaugural year in 2015. The event happens every fall in the last half of September.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Today, President Biden is traveling to Raleigh, North Carolina, where he will visit a mobile vaccination bus and highlight the ease of getting vaccinated, encourage vaccinations, and mobilize grassroots vaccine education and outreach efforts.

The President isn't the only one out today getting the word out about local efforts to vaccinate more Americans today. The Second Gentleman and Dr. Murthy are hosting a press call to highlight new ways the administration is encouraging young people to get vaccinated, including new efforts from the private sector targeting young people.

In his remarks, the President will highlight some of the incredible work North Carolinians are doing to get their community members vaccinated, Governor Cooper's commitment to center equity in his COVID response, and also his administration's work to get North Carolinians vaccinated.

Q: Thanks, Karine. First, just following up on the President's remarks a few minutes ago: Could you clarify what the President said what -- that the -- the bipartisan package had to move "in tandem" with the Democrats-only package? Is the President saying he will not, under any circumstances, sign this bipartisan agreement unless Democrat -- the Democrats' unilateral package also passes?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, let me just first say that the American people wanted to see a compromise. They wanted to see a government that works for the people. And that is what we saw today. That's what the President did. And compromising means giving in some places, but also finding common ground.

And so, the way that the President sees this is that -- we have always said that the President, in April, had two plans: the American Jobs Plan and the American Family Plan. And he has always been clear that he intends to pass both.

The infrastructure bill contains the core of the American Jobs Plan and the reconciliation bill will be the vehicle to pass the American Families Plan. So, his intention is to make sure that he -- we move forward with both.

Q: But the President said before that one was -- that the -- the Jobs Plan necessitated the Families Plan. Is that the case: He needs the Families Plan in order to get -- in order for him to sign that bipartisan agreement?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I -- I'm going to let his words stand. And what he is saying -- that he's not going to give up on his legislative priorities. That's what he said in April. That's what he was saying today.

He wants to make sure that infrastructure -- this investment, this historic investment -- this agreement that was made today is done. Right? And we should be, you know, celebrating that -- the fact that we got this bipartisanship.

But he also wants to make sure that his investment in people -- the "human investment," as he has called it -- is also done. Because we have to make investments that help -- that help people down the -- down the line, that does generational investments, and also economic investment.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, the one thing I will say is that -- like I said, we're not going to raise taxes on people who make less than $400,000; that this is -- this is a win. This -- there's no gas tax. Right? There's no -- any kind of like taxes in that -- in that regard. And so that's a big win.

And so, he wanted to make sure that we do not put the burden on the American people, that these plans pay for itself, and that's going to be the focus. And we'll have more, and we'll continue to share when we have more.

Q: He talked about the Democratic Party being a divided, but a rational party. Is President Biden having any conversations today with Senator Sanders or any of the other members who wanted more in this bill? What's his outreach right now to progressives?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, I -- I don't have any meetings to preview or conversations to preview. As you know, he's headed -- we're all heading to North Carolina today to focus on the importance of getting vaccinated and making sure that we lift up the work that -- that's being done in North Carolina today.

As we know, the President has been all hands -- "all-hands-on-deck" on this. Right? He's had multiple conversations with congressional members. He's had them over in the Oval Office. His staff -- his senior White House staff has -- this week, has been back and forth to the Capitol, having those conversations.

So, that's not going to end. This is the beginning of, I think, this bipartisan structure -- infrastructure framework is a first step to get to what we need to be doing for the American public, which is making sure that we invest in them and in their future.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, let me just say this: This historic bipartisan infrastructure framework will make life better for millions of Americans. Right? It will create a generation of good-paying jobs and economic growth; position the U.S. to win the 21st century, including combating the climate crisis.

As we've talked about, the President is committed -- again, and I've said this already -- to the full legislation agenda, which is including the care economy, expanding childcare, additional investment in clean energy, and passing a budget resolution that enacts his legislation priorities.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: But, I mean, he said it himself: There were some things that, you know, he did give up on. But, I think the bottom line is that, that red line that you were talking about -- like that -- that was the red line that was not crossed. Right? We didn't -- we're not rising -- raising taxes for people who make $400,000 -- less than $400,000. And there are no gas tax -- tax on this.
