The Friendly Ghost.

The Friendly Ghost?

Greetings. For those who know me well, I am a kid at heart. I like reading classic comic books and watching cartoon series. Recently, God had me search for Casper-the friendly ghost. As I looked at my search engine results, I found an article showing how that cartoon originated. It has fascinating parallels with the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

As a child, I enjoyed looking at the old Casper cartoons. In analyzing the Casper cartoons, I never wondered about his previous life. If he is a ghost, he must have existed in a body. I discovered some details about his previous earthly life as I read that article. His original name was Casper McFadden, and he died from pneumonia when he was 12. The cold weather was a factor due to his playing with his sled for a long time.

After dying, the young lad came back in a ghostly form. He was a friendly ghost and wanted to make friends. This poor soul did not know that people, except for the children, would look at him and get scared silly. In the first episode, he was looked down upon by his fellow ghosts because he did not participate in scaring people and haunting houses. Separating himself from his family, He made friends with some children he encountered, and they brought him home to Mama. When they introduced him to Mama, she got so scared that she got under the bed with her children.

During this commotion, a knock came on the door. It was a Bill Collector with a foreclosure notice. Casper opened the door, and when the collector looked at him, he got scared and fled. Upon seeing this, the mother realized Casper did not mean any harm. Impressed with her deliverance from that Bill Collector, she adopted him as part of the family.

The Holy Spirit Wants To Be Our Friend.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (1 Cor 2:13)

Upon looking at this, it gave me a launching pad for my message. All Christians know that the only friendly ghost is the Holy Spirit. Just as the other ghosts in the Casper cartoons were scaring people, the Holy Spirit does the opposite. He is our friend and wants to deliver us from fear. As Casper delivered the poor lady from a bill collector and foreclosure notice, the Holy Spirit will do the same for you. He is the genius that lives inside of you.

Classic cartoons are great, but they have subtle messages. In the case of Casper, there are no ghosts from our departed ones roaming the area. The Bible says that it is appointed unto man to die once, and after this, the judgment. When our loved ones die, they either go to heaven or hell.

If you see your loved ones return from the dead, it is a familiar spirit. (Lev 19:31) Don’t entertain nor talk to it because it is a portal for other demonic spirits to oppress you. In this age and time, we need to be alert. Satan is out to deceive us. Let’s be wise to close down any loopholes. Below, I have enclosed a link for the Casper fans. God bless.
