Holy Ghost

I didn't find this movie terribly entertaining, and it certainly wasn't comfortable to watch much of the time. It involved a lot of confrontation. Of course, the confrontation was motivated by love, but it was confrontation nonetheless, and at times you could see fear/trust dynamics in operation at the beginning of an interaction.

The biggest takeaway for me was the courage of the protagonists to answer the call to bring Jesus to a world in deep need of Him, and to do so even when it meant not only inconvenience, but also danger. Thus the theme of risk-taking.

Nothing gets accomplished unless we make the decision to take calculated risk. Each of us has a choice to make - our own comfort, or to make a difference in people's lives.

I would recommend viewing this movie not as a piece of entertainment, but with a heart open to what changes might need to be made to bring your life into all it can be.

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.

Did you read the description of this thing? Did you read it? Read it now, I'll wait... ...Okay so how was I supposed to make a movie, I'm a disembodied spirit. And editing, don't get me started on editing. How am I supposed to edit? I have no fingers. I HAVE NO FINGERS.

And who is this director? I never heard of him. Did you ever hear of him? And cheeky. He claims to know me. He doesn't know me.

And talk about raising unrealistic expectations, calling me HOLY Ghost. Don't call me HOLY Ghost. My name is Ghost. Holy Ghost is my slave name.

Kind regards,

Ghost

So GOD actually made this movie, seriously? What kind of a marketing trick is that? Sounds like blasphemy to my (Catholic) ears. Just because HE doesn't interfere with our worldly matters and lets us have our way, we don't automatically have permission to attribute lukewarm and uninspired films like this to HIM, do we?

As it says in the storyline given above: no plan, no script - oh, yes, and no inspiration either.

It's one thing to go on a mission. It's another thing entirely to create a piece of art which is truly meaningful and valuable. This film-maker, it seems, has nothing new or original to say. Somebody should tell him the road to hell is paved with good intentions (assuming he had any).

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.
