What Are Sheets For?

What Is a Ghost?

• A ghost is a spirit … meaning no body (Luke 24:39).

• Ghost. (1) A spirit or incorporeal being. (2) The spirit, or immaterial part of man, as distinct from the body.

• Each person has a ghost, or spirit, in his body.

• Ghost = spirit = angel … angels are spirits, or ghosts.

• God = spirit … He is the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.

You Have a Ghost

• Your ghost is your spirit living in your body.

• Your spirit is what gives life to your body.

• Death = spirit goes to God.

• Death = body is buried, for the spirit is gone.

• Death in the Bible = “gave up the ghost.”

Your Ghost Leaves at Death (1)

“Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people” (Gen 25:8).

“And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him” (Gen 35:29).

Your Ghost Leaves at Death (2)

“And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people” (Gen 42:33).

“Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

(Job 3:11)

Death = Spirit Goes to God (1)

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

Ecclesiastes 3

Death = Spirit Goes to God (2)

“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it” (Eccl 12:7).

“And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts 7:59).

“And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost” (Lu 23:46).

Death = Spirit Goes to God (3)

“And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:42-43).

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope” (I Thess 4:13).

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed (I Cor 15:51).

Death = Body Sleeps / Spirit with God

Death = Spirit with the Lord

“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (II Cor 5:6-8).

To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect” (Heb 12:23).

Where Is God’s Ghost? (1)

Fellowship = God’s Ghost talking to your ghost. “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God” (Rom 8:15-16).

Where Is God’s Ghost? (2)

“Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Rom 8:9).
