The Holy Spirit has not departed from the earth, so that would be impossible.
When you say the Holy Spirit has left you, what do you mean?
Only God can give you the baptism of the Holy Spirit. People can't give you the baptism of the Holy Spirit. That's God's domain. |

The Holy Spirit departed from Saul. The Holy Spirit was never in Saul but was with Saul, and there in is the difference between the Holy Spirit being in a person today and the Holy Spirit being with a person (Saul, David, Samson) in the Old Testament. |

Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, if a person always go against, grief the H/S, H/S will leave the person. The Spirit of God cannot dwell in a person who keep sinning against Him, whoever does not bear fruits, H/S will eventually leave him. Same to the church, H/S cannot dwell in a place where there is no truth, if a church has not been preaching the truth, H/S cannot dwell in that church.(The truth: no adding/subtracting of the Bible, purely the words of God - The Bible) |

Holy Spirit will leave a person like how an evil spirit can possess/leave a person, i DO NOT want to associate H/S & E/S together, just so you can see H/S does leave a person. |

One thing that one can count on is the word of God.
He said that He will NEVER LEAVE YOU.
Will abide with you until the day of redemption.
Put not your faith in feelings,put them in the word of God which never changes. |

The same thing happened to me only I wasn't sinning. I was just laying in my bed one night and something left me from head to toe and I cried out "Holy Spirit why have you forsaken me!" I have bees crying every day since. |

God will ALWAYS forgive you if you are willing to confess and repent and come back to him. If this is really bothering you, you should talk to your pastor or someone like that. There is a book called "The Gift of Forgivness" by Charles Stanley, that is really good about explaining God's forgiveness for us. |

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
You may have grieved the HS and he is not working in your life, but he hasn't left you. |

Chris,
This is why some of us use our unique ChristiaNet names or others use some other method of identifying themselves. ie. NVBarbara, Darlene_1 etc |

In reference to "did the Holy Spirit leave me" blog. I did not write this reply... I have been told that Benny Hynn etc.. I have never heard Benny Henn say that. I believe there was a mix up. This is not my reply. Thank you. |

I heard that Benny Hinn interviewed a woman who claimed the Holy Spirit left her body. She went to a bar to drink, disobeying the Holy Spirit's conviction. Supposedly, when she sat down, she physically felt Him leave her body. I know the Holy Spirit would come and go in the Old Testament, but will the Holy Spirit leave a struggling christian today? Could satan imitate that physical experience to cause a person to doubt their eternal security. Will God or His Spirit ever give up on one of his children? |

2. If you feel He has left you, you were never really in Love with Christ to begin with. A relationship with Christ is eternal. Not like our marriages many times that last a short while. The promises of Christ are for eternity. |

Angela, if you are saved, the Holy Spirit will never leave you. You can believe all the others that say, you can leave Him, but that is not true at all. It is not by our strength or power, but by His power. If people think they have left the Spirit, it is because they never had the Spirit. If they did, they would not even think they could leave Him. Christians are not condemned. Only unbelievers. |
|
---Lupe2618 on 7/24/06 |
Angela
I feel the same way... |
|
---faye on 7/23/06 |
You said you had a burning sensation for five days. I have experienced a similar thing. I was strongly convicted of a sin I committed. My body felt like it was on fire. However, it only lasted for an evening. At first I thought it was Satan, but I now believe it was God. Has anyone else experienced this? |

---Tammy on 6/5/06 |
contiue He will bring fear upon you and fear
does not come from God he won'ts us to have peace and a sound mind When the devil comes at me i just say i rebuke you in the name of Jesus and he leaves but he will come back trying something else just hold on don't give up |
|
---Betty on 5/31/06 |
Yes God's spirit can leave you.when the scripture says he will never leave you are for sake you And that is true. but it is us that leave him we are not to go by feelings because they change. If you feel like you have sined stay on your knees untill you touch him There is a song about touching Jesus. He loves us and he is willing to for give us .And yes that is the devil puting those thoughts in to your mind it has happen to me when i would try to read the bible . |
|
---Betty on 5/31/06 |
jesus said I will never you or forsake,and yea I,am with you always even until the end of time. And many others paul said nothing can separate me from the love of God.you may at times feel like God has desserted you,but he hasn,t we live by faith not sight, and definitely not feelings. |

angela boggs
email me at mike3966 and we will talk further.
KNOW THIS you are not forsaken,by GOD you are not, unloved of GOD. If you recieved Jesus as your savior. you can't be taken from GOD,and He will never leave you. dont go with "feelings" they can confuse. go with the Word of GOD that is our truth.
I am praying for you loved one. |

---willow on 5/30/06 |
Angela, Confidence in the Spirit comes only by repentance, and let's not make that a one time thing.
Confess your sin to God daily asking for his grace until you again regain the health of your spirit, and even then don't stop.
By continual asking, seeking, knocking we are conditioned to look for his blessing and are more able to see and feel it. In this case it's the grace of KNOWING that his hand is upon you...It's his will for you to know, but it's his glory for you to choose it. |
|
---z-pha3394 on 5/30/06 |
No one can answer the first question expect you. the second question, yes the Holy Spirit can leave a person. God said that his spirit will not always strive with man. You said that you were asked to be saved again, did God convict you of your sins and did you repent? If so then you are one of God's. The bad thoughts came from Satan, because God doesn't do that. Satan feeds off of your fear, he knows what can break you. the only power Satan has is what you allow him to have. |
|
---Rebecca_D on 5/19/06 |
Angela, you don't live by feelings as a Christian, you live by faith. Seems you are under Satanic attack. The Devil will attack through your mind,Pastor is mistaken. Fight the Devil with Jesus Name,rebuke all bad thoughts or even negative thoughts in Jesus Name. Say in Jesus Name I don't receive this! If jealousy,"jealous spirit I rebuke you in Jesus Name and command you to be gone to the realm of darkness,I bind you there in Jesus Name".Pray,praise God,sing songs to Jesus,read the Bible. |

---Darlene_1 on 5/6/06 |
Angela, If your pastor denies the fact that Satan will plant thoughts in our minds, then he is wrong and has been deceived. Satan most assuredly does plant thoughts in our minds trying to trick us into believing that they are our thoughts. When something like that happens resist it in the name of Jesus Christ, and command the thoughts to cease. James 4:7 says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you." |
|
---tommy3007 on 5/6/06 |
The devil will do absolutely anything he can to get you to doubt your faith or to make you feel worthless. I don't think the pastor should have said what he did. God tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. When we feel that there is a distance between us or an absence of Him it is we who have removed ourselves from the fellowship we had, not the other way round. |

---M.P. on 5/6/06 |
Precious Angela, I know you have the faith of The Father within you for He has given us all a degree of His faith. (Rom. 12:3). I know you have faith in God, so have faith in yourself as you abide in His presence. Happy is the one who does not condemn themselves in that thing which they allowed. (Rom. 14:22). Cast your cares upon Him, for He does care for you. I love and admire you honesty, and I know that The Fathers grace is enough for you: for His strength is made perfect in weakness. (2 Cor. 12:9) |
|
---josef on 5/6/06 |
Beloved, if you heart does not condemn you, (let nothing and no one condemn you, remember The Father justifies you, and Jesus died for you. Rom. 8:33,34) then you will have confidence in God. And whatsoever you ask of Him, you will receive, because you have confidence in His Word and that confidence pleases Him. (1 John 3:19-22) |
|
---josef on 5/6/06 |
My dear Angela, Beloved child of God. The Father loves you, and it is obvious to me that you love Him. Let not your heart be troubled, I know you believe in Jesus, therefore trust His salvation. (John 14:1-3) He will never leave you or forsake you. You are precious to Him. (Heb.13:5). If your heart condemns you, remember God is greater than your heart, and understands all things. (Heb. 3:20) |
|
---josef on 5/5/06 |
NO. As soon as you confessed your sin HE casted it into the sea of forgetfulness never to be remembered.(Isaiah 43:25; Psalms 103:3; IJohn 1:9; Micah 7:19) Meditate on these scripture because as the righteousness of God you have a right to be forgiven & to live w/o a sin-conscience.(Romans 8:1; 2Corinthians 5:21; 1Peter 2:24) |

---Rickey on 5/5/06 |
Can't seem to feel God's presence. I'm terrified. I love God. I feel I was saved when younger then backslid, then asked be saved again. why I asked if Holy Spirit left me b/c was reading scriptures, two bad thoughts came in my mind about God. felt burning inside body for 5 days, I know they weren't something i'd think of on my own. coud it'd been devil? my pastor said devil doensn't do that. i'm scared. I've prayed, asked for forgiveness repeatedly afterwards, is God still holding me in his hand. |
|
---Angela_Boggs on 5/5/06 |
Absolutely not, the Holy Spirit never leaves a Christian after he comes in. How strong is your prayer life, how consistent, have surrendered, and you can expect the Holy Spirit to manifest himself to you in a way that you are not expecting. |
|
---mima on 5/5/06 |
Angela, what did you do to make you think He left you? Did you commit a sin? He doesn't really leave you once you have him abiding in you, but you can quench Him and grieve Him, Repent. Confess your sin (if that's what you did) and pray what Davied prayed "Create in me a clean heart O Lord." Ask Father to forgive you and He will. We walk by faith, not by feeling. |
|
---Donna9759 on 5/5/06 |
Angela, I would like to know why you are asking this question...is it because of something you have done? I will say God says that He will never leave us or forsake us...He is the faithful one, true to His word. If He began a good work in you, His promise is to bring it to completion. Set your eyes on Jesus. God bless you |
