Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: The Holy Spirit Is With You Forever by Joagbaje(m): 8:23pm On Feb 20, 2011
John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever .


Some Christians think the Holy Spirit sometimes goes on a break, or takes a recess just because at such times they don’t “feel” His presence. You don’t have to “feel” God to know that He’s with you. Rather, you ought to know that He’s with you always, because the Word says so. Jesus said, “…and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:20). He didn’t say, “I’m with you only when you can “feel” that I am.” Many have reduced their experience of Christianity to the carnal realm of feeling, and that so wrong, for we walk by faith and not by sensory perceptions (2 Corinthians 5:7).

But you might want to ask, “What if someone, having received the Holy Spirit at the New Birth, backslides and feels that the Holy Spirit has left him or her, is this just a feeling or was the Holy Spirit actually frustrated with all the sin in such a person?” Well, God is not a man (Numbers 23:19), and He doesn’t act like some earthly parents who wouldn’t relate with their kids for doing something wrong. Sadly, this is the poor perception of God that some folks have.

That you did something wrong won’t make the Holy Spirit leave you. Remember, you weren’t made right with God because of your own righteousness; it came because God gave you His righteousness. Thus, His presence with you isn’t dependent on what you did right or wrong, or the way you feel. His presence is dependent on His infallible Word; because of His love! That’s the reason He’ll never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

Read again the words of Jesus in our opening verse, He said “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever” (John 14:16). God the Father, through the Holy Spirit abides with you forever, not sometimes. Don’t consider what your feelings tell you. As long as you haven’t willfully rejected Christ and His sacrifice of salvation for you on the Cross, the Holy Spirit cannot and will not leave you!

Even when you err and start feeling as though the Holy Spirit has left you, it’s still the Holy Spirit who guides you unto repentance, proving His presence with you even at such times. If He left you, you could never return to Him. But He wouldn’t, for He’s with you to fulfill His ministry in your life, till Jesus comes. Hallelujah!

John 14;26

"But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative, that is the Holy Spirit, He will teach you EVERYTHING and will remind you of EVERYTHING I have told you"

Believers will be able to recall Jesus words and clarify their meaning. We experience the work of the Holy Spirit when we read the WORD which gives us RICH UNDERSTANDING of what it entails. ---- DIVINE REVELATION.

The Spirit of Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom. ---- hmmmm ---- loving it cool
The more the revelation, the closer one gets to God. wink

You are selling Pastor Chris instead of Christ? Why? What about replacing in the header Pastor Chris with Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit is a coach, He strengthens us at all time never letting go anytime. Even when a person feels he is not worth it, the Holy Spirit still qualifies us cos he bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God(Romans 8:16). He is allos parakletos.

@loveking, free123
Its amazing that all you could deduce from such a revealing article even with scriptures to match is an attempt to sell a man, why don't you open your hearts the truth of the message and if you have any reservations then search the scriptures yourself and prove the message, that is how mature Christians respond to truth- they judge it on the basis of the Word.

If you aint blind, why worshipping your pastor insted of Jesus. Even in the Bible, God says he is a respecter of no damn person including your idol 'pastor chris'. So do you get that into your head?
