God doesn't leave people. It is people that leave God.

If you feel God is far, know He is near.

If you are consciouse of the spirit in you, you will know.


If you start speaking lies, or digressing from his lay down command. You sense judgment instantly. The more you digress further the more you sense the loss of the spirit. Think if it as a signal. The more you walk in an opposite direction the more one loose signal.

In other to retain it. Return to the part of truth. Love more truthfully. Sexual immoralities are killers.. gambling will make the heart restless. Remember the heart need peace to see God. Hence let not your heart be troubled.

Take a break from work. Go to villages were the pressure is not intense. Most of our cursing or bad ulterance are result of stressful living. We are too packed into one space.

are u baptised with the spirit of God?if yes then the holyspirit does not leave you but won't force you in your choice making but guide you in it if you have backsliding The spirit ie ever ready to help you only if you allow him to..Most times the devil deceives to loose the consciousness that God has left us but remember samson even when God left in the old covenant once he retraced by his steps the connection came back so God is never far it is you who is not connecting ...but if you don't have the spirit of God I mean the holyspirit then God the spirit was not there in first place it's your conscience that is just pricking u up and that's the best time to find God in its fullness

God doesn't leave a Christian or a believer in the finished works of Christ. You're still living in the Old Covenant if you think God leaves a believer, not even when you sin. What father will leave his children at any time?

The spirit of God can leave a Christian and then the spirit of Satan shall enter such.

Should be the other way round.

How can you tell when you've left God.

he lives and will always live in you. Genesis 2: 7. The day you die thats the day he leaves because your existence is an evidence of the presence of God in you.But sin can make his presence passive while righteousness, a pure heart makes it active and obvious.
So if you want his light to shine through you and his presence felt , run away from iniquity, immorality but rather practice love, forgiveness and pureness of the heart by keeping no records of hate or transgressions commited against you.
Shalom

When you find it easy to do the things of the flesh than the things of the spirit.
When your conscience is dead to wrong or immoral things.
Re: How Can I Know When God Has Left Me? by Charly68: 2:00pm On Jul 04, 2021
Your question is a very big one.. but the bible says the spirit of God in you shall bear witness with you that you are a child of God. No matter what we do wrong,we can always ask for.firgivemess and God is just and able to forgive us. But when you realize that sinning means nothing to you anymore ,it means your conscience is dead and the Holy Spirit has left you to yourself because he must have talked and talked and you don't listen. Also when you notice depression In your life.. that is the absence of the spirit of joy which is the Holy Spirit ..sing to God to bring him back to your life.. Above all as long as a man is still alive he has hope of reconciling with God .. only those that are dead has no remedy anymore

How do you know you know you belong to Him in the first place? undecided

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the New Covenant Law of God in the Kingdom of God? undecided

Did you make careful effort to ensure you enter into His Kingdom - John 3 vs 1 - 21 - through the Narrow Gate which only a few will find and enter - Matthew 7 vs 13- 14? undecided

Do you obey Jesus Christ's teachings and commandments, the Truth of God and agreement between God and individual man ? undecided

Do you know the Truth(the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ) and have you been set free from slavery to sin by the Truth, this through your continued submission and obedience of the Truth, to become a Son of God - John 8 vs 31 - 44? undecided

Only those who become Sons of God are those who belong to God. Those who continue to wallow in sin, making excuses instead for their sins , do not belong to God - John 8 vs 40 - 44

When you receive the Holy Spirit at NEW BIRTH, you're SEALED with the Spirit. Nothing can separate you. It is this same Spirit that's suppose to pick you out of the mess then you mess up. So if that Spirit left, how's he suppose to help you out of the mess?

John 15:1-7 contradicts your claim.

That scriptures is addressing Israel and Christ for them to be engraved in Christ. That scriptures ha nothing to do with AFTER THE SPIRIT has been given to reside inside believers. He said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU....meaning NEVER WILL IT HAPPEN...regardless of times and conditions.

1 John 5 : 16

16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

How does this verse relates to Hebrew 13v5?

hopefulLandlord:
you can't know because there's no difference. I came to this conclusion when I asked Christians to tell me what observable tragedy can only befall someone who God has abandoned and Christians couldn't give an answer. here's the thread https://www.nairaland.com/4473432/god-never-abandons-people#67053665

You're right.
There's no difference between a believer and a non-believer.
There's simply different terminologies involved.

When an unbeliever is going through challenges, it is called Gods judgment or punishment for his sins.

But when a believer is going through challenges it is called Trials and tribulations to test his faith. cheesy

Cos both believers and unbelievers experience the Blessings and hardships of life alike. Matthew 5:45

The issue of heaven and hell is even debatable among Christians.
But as Paul rightly put it, without the existence of heaven and hell, a believer is of all people the most miserable. Because a true believer is not meant to be entangled in the things of earth but live a life of service to God and humanity without chasing wealth or titles, even abandoning his family if God pleases.
So his goal should be heavenly treasures not earthly possessions.

But we all know most of the Daddy GOs we have today are busy acquiring more earthly possessions than even unbelievers.

God doesn't leave His people its His people that leaves God. Ask yourself this question what happened to me that I am now drifting away from God? Check your life and see if you have broken the edge. God can not behold iniquities.

He never leaves but wants you to look for him. Remember he doesn't force His will on us. Or else nobody for the sin

I will answer you with my experience, years ago when I was still a christian minister. There was a day the holy spirit used a sister to warn me that someone will visit me but I should not entertain the person, that is I should not allow the person in my house, she didn't mention name but later a very close family member came to visit me, we were jist partner but the person was fetish but I didn't know how deep she had gone satanic, we jisted and played and she left, I soon slept off, in my sleep I dreamt I was standing outside looking up at the sky but I saw it covered in iron and a big iron rod like handle sticking out off it and I was pointing at the sky and shouting, open heaven in Jesus name, but nothing was happening, I woke up and I knew the prophesy had come to pass and I failed, I started crying on my knees and praying, I cried out my heart in a heart break for a long time begging God to forgive me. I later slept and had another dream which I can't remember now but it showed me clearly that I have been pardoned, I woke up rejoicing.

I think God can leave someone if you go into satanism or associate with people in satanic kingdom. You also feel an emptiness in your spirit when the holy spirit vacate. And only when you have a personal relationship with God whereby you keep God in your heart 24/7 and your always follow God's leading in everything, read the word of God regularly and hate evil in every form being careful to please God daily that is when you can have God's presence so heavy that you will know the difference when He leaves. Some peoples thought or anger alone will drive away the spirit of God until next Sunday when they worship and praise.

How does this verse relates to Hebrew 13v5?

1 Cor 5. 1-5

1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife. 2And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? 3For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this. 4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, a b so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.


1 Cor 9:27

No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

brosom:
God is a spirit personality, u can neither see or touch him, but u can hear him and feel him.

There are three (3) ways by which to know when God is with or without u

(1)- If ur spiritual sensory organs stop feeling him,(GOD). This envolves emptiness.

(2) If u stop hearing his speakings. ie, just like our hearts and minds speaks to us, God also speak to us.

(3) If you stop seeing revelation/mysteries of God in ur sleep. Note, One of the ways God speaks to his own is through sleep, by then ur heart, spirit and soul are less noisy.

I hope this would gaurd u,


God bless ur u as u find ur way back with God.






Can we talk ? I need guidance through this thing, I'm going through a lot please.
