Every once in awhile someone will approach me and say, “I was converted the other day and I am now seeking the Holy Ghost.” They will then request prayer that they might receive the Holy Ghost. May I say to you that if you are born again, you now have the Holy Ghost. If a man does not have the Holy Ghost, he is not of God. If you write to me and say you are now seeking the Holy Ghost, what you ought to say is, “I am a lost sinner and I need to get right with God,” because if you do not have the Holy Ghost you have never been saved. It is the Holy Ghost who gives birth to your soul into God’s family. There is no other way for a man to be born again except through the ministry of the Holy Ghost. So the Holy Ghost is given to every believer. There is not one single believer who does not have the Holy Ghost. Now you may not always be filled with the Holy Ghost or completely empowered as you could be by the Holy Ghost, but if you do not have the Holy Ghost you are not a believer…..you are not saved. If you are saved and you know that you are saved, then praise God, you have the Holy Ghost.
Romans 8:9b: NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.
