Holy Ghost (2014)

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

From a Biblical perspective there are problems with this film - 1. It's not free. 2. More than once in the film one of the guys says:"There are many gods but only one Jesus" This is said at least twice in the film, and at the end they go into the biggest Hindu temple.3. They say that to use "holy spirit" (they don't say 'the') one must be willing to "take risks" and "make mistakes" one must be willing to fail when trying to hear the voice of the spirit in order to know that it was not the spirit.I must say it, and if i'm wrong may God strike me down right now, but it's actually enticing people to blaspheme the Holy Spirit by saying the above.If one does not know that a voice or thought was from God/the Holy Spirit, but yet claims that it is, well, that is pretty much blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. As Christians we know that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not forgiven (Matt 12:32), so we take great care in saying that anything we say or do is from the Spirit.4. During a big dramatic prayer what is shown is images of the crowd during i guess a Korn concert, and they are all throwing up middle fingers and devils horns, why would a Christian film maker, editor, whoever, put that in as what is shown during a prayer for others to come to Jesus? Why not just continue to show the scene of them praying in the lobby? Look up the Necronomicon, it teaches how to conjure up fallen angels, there are 4 hand signs used, one is the middle finger another is the horn sign.What it really takes to hear and fully interface with the Holy Spirit of God, is to be following the laws of Christ - Matthew 5 through 7 and Luke 6 (which includes praying in secret, and specifically, not in the streets, as in the film), and then on top of that when fully mature and really able to walk around and have miracles happen (as in the film) one would also be following a lot of the old Jewish laws in the old testament - like Deuteronomy 6:7-9 (they did not walk around talking about Gods law) One would even attribute some of Paul's teachings as laws, and therefore do them, no black makeup on your face because it appears evil, no showing of middle fingers and devil signs during a supposed prayer to Jesus, because it looks way evil. No going into the temple of some foreign "god", because there is no other God but God, who was manifested in the flesh as Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Together Philippians 4:13 and Hebrews 6:1-3 describe how to really have miracles (like raising the dead) happen through the believer.Why we don't see miracles of the Holy Spirit like during the time of the apostles, is because the apostles were following all the law (Acts 10:14, 16:3), even the old testament 613 laws. After Christ, in total there are 616 laws, if and when one follows them all, God will grant anything, time travel, anything; through the power of Christ it is possible to follow them all, He even took care of all the sacrifices.

Finally, a film that accurately portrays the Holy Spirit. I was blessed to follow the making of this movie through Kickstarter. The vision behind it, is something like (lets actually listen to Holy Spirit and film where He wants us to film. If He doesn't show up, well then there's not going to be a movie.) The film is very well put together. It's visually beautiful, the soundtrack is deep and emotionally pulling. The film is put together in a way that draws you in and builds up to a dramatic climax. I love that the story is unscripted, real, and raw.If your tired of cheese dipped faith based films, check out Holy Ghost. This film raises the bar on so many levels. If your a believer, this will challenge you to step out and believe God for the impossible, if your not a believer, this will blow your mind.

Hugely compelling feature. Thought provoking. This movie explains the concept of the Trinity - The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is our Link to the Father as it is a physical/tangible experience that comes upon believers who want the Holy Ghost to fill them. With that presence, the believer is able to channel ALL the power of God - which can be used only for Good and to bless others in unlocking their own hidden potential. The documentary does a good job of globe trotting and showcasing how the Power of God is manifest in anyone who is bold enough to Trust in God and Follow as God directs them (obedience) and, that God's Power is more than mere belief or disbelief (as the case may be). God's power healed Athiest, Agnostic and Non-Believers alike - meaning that God is a Universal God of Love who will always be a Blessing.Showcasing how members of Korn and Artists like Lenny Kravitz have turned to Jesus is extremely encouraging especially who Head and Fieldy of Korn did - praying over people before their concerts to heal and deliver people from their bondage. Whoaa!! Took my breath away. I experienced the Presence of God by Simply watching this powerful piece of work. If there is a sequel, I'd love to see the director have a conversation with Agnostic/Atheist opinion leaders from Government and Entertainment like Bill Maher, Tom Cruise, Jay Z, Kanye West, Oprah Winfrey as well as other known Christian advocates like Dave Chappelle, Kat Williams, Bishop Gaspar Anastasi, Bishop TD Jakes, Dinesh D'Souza and Ravi Zaccharias - to name a few. I'd also like them to touch on issues like Homosexuality, Tithing, Female Pastors, etc.A must watch for all christians of all denominations as well as non- christians.

This movie is great for Christians to encourage them to use the power the Holy Spirit gives us, to walk in the Spirit, not be ashamed of Christ and lovingly spread the Gospel without judging, imposing.. just give the gifts of healing and restoration freely, just like Jesus has done. The movie gives much glory to our Lord Jesus, and it shows His true face - reaching out to people who need Him, offering them love, salvation, health and happiness. I love that the cast went to India and showed Jesus' light in such a dark place, filled with demonic religions and oppressed, lost people. Those are the exact people who need to hear the gospel the most. I would like to thank the creators of this movie for their courage, this has inspired me to listen to the Holy Spirit in me and act upon what He's prompting me to do, even when that means stepping out of my comfort zone. I want to thank guys from Korn and Lenny Kravitz for sharing their testimonies because they have much influence with the people, and Jesus can use them greatly. I will share this movie as much as I can, and I can't wait for the sequel.
