I have not felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in a long time. Please pray that God would give me the desire to do what will bring about my salvation and sanctification, and that my community would be enabled to help.
Hi my name is John I was about to sign off and flip through this and well I feed the spirit not to flush I know it's hard today but that's what I do I don't know if that helps I also on YouTube there's a Christian church thing line of Judas it's a encouragement thing they mentioned the King James Bible a lot and I also have the Bible nearby so when they mention something I look it up to make sure I hope this helps I pray in Jesus name that if I did this incorrect that somebody else will come along on this side and do better than I in Jesus name I pray amen
Our standing with God is not determined on how we feel or if we feel the Holy Spirit in us. If you are a believer, it is a fact that the Holy Spirit lives in you always and does not leave you. Be consoled by this. Our measure of God's presence within us is not based on physical sensations or even in experiencing manifestations of the Holy Spirit. It is based on the validity of the promises in Scripture. Peter said at Pentecost to the people gathered who wanted to know how to be saved. He told them to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be baptized, and they will receive the Holy Spirit. This is the truth and it is the promise Jesus made at the Last Supper-that He will send His Holy Spirit who will be with us and in us.
Jesus also promised to be with us, never leave us nor forsake us, forever.
And He abides in us by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who causes us to abide in God.
So, we can always repent of sin and unbelief when we doubt God and think we need to be saved all over again. We will be forgiven and God will help us to grow to stronger faith in Him and in His Word and promises.
Sometimes we just need to slow down and seek God without all of the hype that can accompany some "worship" services that generate a lot of energy and emotional responses that is sometimes mistaken for "feeling the Holy Spirit." We experience Him in the quiet of prayer and meditation on Him and His Word more often than not, and we are aware of Him working in our lives in answered prayer and in confirmations in our circumstances that we cannot make occur even if we tried to make these confirmations happen.
Be of good cheer, Brianna. Put your trust in God, not in experiences. He is faithful and just. He is always good. He is always awesome. He is always near to us. Our hearts know this is true.
