Scripture:- James 4:1-17
Topic:- Signs To Know That Holy Spirit Has Left You [1]
Text:- James 4:3
The worst thing any Christian can do is to turn away from the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and Jesus promised His disciples that He will give them the Holy Spirit after He’d gone.
It means that as a Christian, the Holy Spirit will live within you. The Holy Spirit departed from many, however, for different reasons. When you feel all of this, that is an indicator that you have been abandoned by the hand of Christ.
- Prayer Without Results:
When you continually pray without having any results, this is a strong indicator that you are abandoned by the Spirit of God. This is because the Spirit of God is the power of God which commands results within you. When your prayers do not order results that is an indicator that God’s Spirit is not operating inside you. - Not Enjoying The Things Of God:
When you no longer value the stuff of God, this is yet another clear indication that you have been betrayed by God’s presence. If you struggle to pray, read your Bible, worship God, listen to sermons, etc., the Spirit of God no longer resides within you. - Rebellion:
When you actively revolt against the things of God, against the Church of God, against other people, always fight otters and cause fear, the Spirit of God has left you. - Rejection From Man:
When you are continually faced with rejection everywhere you go, if others are welcomed, if it reaches your turn, they will say no, that is a strong sign that the Spirit of God has abandoned you. When you don’t win infinite favor, the love of God has abandoned you. - Bottom Line:
We are living in a time which has been prophesied there will be a decline from faith in the last days. Faith is the Spirit of God living inside. Most men have fallen into the Spirit but still, stand physically. Though they have fallen, they are still going to Church and God has left their lives. Hearing that is not a surprise, it’s happening and you may be a Christian but you have fallen and walked by yourself. You can still serve the ministry in your life, without God!
Prayer Point:- Oh Lord God, never let Your Holy Spirit depart from me, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Wonderful Monday!

I new converted Christian, but I need more of Jesus in my life, what did I need to do.
Hi Augustine, congrats on making that decision to follow Jesus! This is going to be the most rewarding yet challenging decision you have made. I have been a Christian for about 8+ years now and it is so beautiful getting to seek God’s face and love and be loved by Him! I think when we come to faith it is important especially for new converts to establish spiritual disciplines including but not limited to reading God’s Word daily, meditating and memorizing God’s Word, praying, gathering with other believers regularly, and witnessing to others about your faith. I hope your walk is going well! I pray you are blessed Augustine!
hello, i am a christian i am 12 years old. i started going to church with my parents. i went off to church camps i got saved in one. i closed my eyes and listened to the music. my eyes started twitching everything went black, i forgot where i was then i fell into the holy spirit. what you need to do is forget about what people say about god like saying he ain’t real. he has not done nothing. cause look he has done a lot for me. i struggled with depersonalization, depression etc. hop into your car the next sunday go to church and, listen to the music at the church. make sure this church is all in. and not just singing. at my church we are all in and we speak in tongues almost every time. confess your sins to him and pray to him saying “dear god i come to you as a sinner and ask forgiveness, and i believe that jesus died on the cross for me, and please forgive me for my sins i believe that you can guide my path. and heal me, i believe that you can help me with my needs. and i believe you can do miracles and i know that you can help me with my struggles amen”.pray that and thats how i started i promise you he will guide you the rest of the way. participate in your daily church. and i promise you from there on god has got your back<3.
I am so scared that the Holy Spirit has left me……Is there anything that I can do for Him to come back?
