Bible Question: Can you have the Holy Spirit leave you? He was never so close to me as when he came to me after my son died. Now its been 10yrs and he is pressing on me again, it sort of scares me? |
Bible Answer: The question I would ask in return is "Did the Holy Spirit ever leave to begin with?" God is more longsuffering than any of us could ever hope to be. It takes a lot .. and I mean "A LOT" to get God to leave you alone. The Bible is filled with examples. Sometimes, when people say "The Holy Spirit left me." What is really happening is that they got so used to God's presence there, and God watching over them, that he seems to fade into the Background. Like he's a part of the scenery. Then when it comes time for you to go a different path or to do something specific for him, that's when he begins to act and work drastically, and suddenly, you realize that he's there. So .. Can the Holy Spirit leave you? Yes. Will he? Not easily. What is probably happening? You aren't really noticing that he's been there the entire time. Jesus Loves you, Jesusman |
