Ghost Hunter

I've always had an interest in hunting, but have never been. From what I've heard about it, hunting requires a lot of patience.

For example, if you go deer hunting, you may end up sitting in a tree waiting for a deer to come along & then take your shot. Sounds exciting I know! But sounds a little contradictary to me... A hunter is defined simply as 'one who searches for something.' So if you're sitting in a tree just waiting, are you really hunting? No offense to all you hunters out there...

But I'm thinking of a different kind of hunt. I'm talking about a ghost hunt...

It says in Matthew, 'seek and you shall find'. So if you seek (hunt) the Holy Ghost, you will find it. All throughout God's Word it talks about seeking & searching for God & after the things of Him. I believe if one seeks the face of God & the Holy Ghost, you will receive it. It is a promise!

Acts says that you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you. 'Power to tread on scorpions and serpents and all power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.' (Luke 10:19) Sounds great right!?!

But you only have that power after you receive the Holy Ghost. So again I say, 'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.' (Mt. 7:7-8)

Seek the Holy Ghost and you will receive it. God promised it to you & the power that comes with it. It's what will get you into heaven.

Seek the Holy Ghost like a hunter... not one sitting in a tree waiting, but rather one that goes out looking and does not stop until they find what they're hunting. Even if you already have it, you could always use more.

Are you a ghost hunter?
