Hunger Games

Question:  Catching the Holy Spirit or Getting caught up by the Holy Spirit?

Catching means you have a hold to it but when the Spirit has a hold of you is when the pouring in can be done – to God’s liking.

As fleshly humans we want to control everything – even the Spirit of God.  It is only when we allow him to roam free that we can be blessed abundantly; and receive the breakthrough that we have been in search of him for. 

Those times don’t come every day or every Sunday - that is the “Catching the Holy Ghost” but it tends to happen that Sunday when you come in to God’s house seeking him and only him, just a move from him anyway he wants to give it – that’s being caught up in the Spirit.

We must take full advantage of when these times and opportunities present themselves.  When the Ark of the Covenant was brought back and David danced until he had become naked his wife found a problem with it.  The word says that David was on his way to bless his household, which she was a part of and she wasn't receptive and because of her unreceptiveness she wasn't able to bear fruit – in this instance, she couldn't have children. 

We can either be responsive to the Spirit by speaking fruit or famine into our own lives… Hunger after the things of God and his righteousness and you will never thirst or hunger again.
