Are You Being Haunted By The Holy Ghost?

Let me share notes that I took today at church, this church also has awesome Praise/Worship too.
Goodness and mercy are following you all the days of your life Psalm 139; 7-10 states, "Where can I go to get away from your Spirit? Where can I run to get away from you? If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell, you are there. If I climb upward on the rays of the morning sun or land on the most distant shore of the sea where the sun sets, even there your hand would guide me and your right hand would hold on to me."
To be haunted is usually associated with frightening thoughts. To be inhabited by a ghost, by the Holy Ghost according to 1Corinthians 6:19 "Don't you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don't belong to yourselves." Your body is the house the Holy Spirit is going to haunt or frequently visit. The dictionary definition of haunt states"To visit or appear as a ghost or spirit. To frequent. To recur to continually. A place visited frequently." The comforter was sent to us Jesus sent His spirit or ghost , as in Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost context, to live inside of you. He will never leave you He watches, listens, guides, protects us. He abides wherever an individual goes He is with you and you are not by yourself.  The negative side of the Holy Ghost is you just can't walk away from God. He won't leave you alone, He goes with you to parties, viewing things you shouldn't be seeing on the Internet, when a person is fornicating or fooling around with a man or woman that is not your spouse. You hear voices when you contemplate doing bad. There is a continual haunting of the souls by the Holy Ghost, backsliders are haunted by Him and then after they have been used by sin one day they get haunted because they will remember the peace they had before backsliding. He loves you so much that He won't let you go to hell.
When you try to be a good sinner you can't just walk away from Him. His grace, anointing, love is too strong. You will find yourself in a serious backslidden state when you first lie to yourself and then lie to authority. Remember Ananias and Sapphira, they lied to Peter who was the spiritual authority of the house/leadership and man of God. You can lie to a man in acts 5: 3-4 "Peter asked, "Ananias, why did you let Satan fill you with the idea that you could deceive the Holy Spirit? You've held back some of the money you received for the land. While you had the land, it was your own. After it was sold, you could have done as you pleased with the money. So how could you do a thing like this? You didn't lie to people but to God!" He is the spirit of truth and was there when you did it. People can't always see it but God does. If you lose your conviction or standards you are not fearing Him. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God. Never let your life get to that point.
Be careful how you treat the Holy Ghost it should be with fear of the Lord and respect the Holy Spirit and the word of God. Philippians 2:12 states, "My dear friends, you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I'm absent. In the same way continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."  It is your own salvation that needs to be worked out with fear and trembling and not anyone else's but your own that you are responsible for. Anything less than that is not true salvation.
