One such example where god’s love for backsliders can be seen is in the book of jeremiah 3:22 where the lord pleads with the children of israel to. Whatever the case may be, today it is not possible for the holy spirit to abandon a believer.
We can see this clearly in the parable of the prodigal son.
Can the holy spirit leave a backslider. He will prompt you and remind you with his holy spirit who will prick your conscience with a desire to return, but ultimately the decision is ours. God can still take you back at anytime and start all over again with each one of you, no matter how bad things may be in your life right now. It will fall upon us whether we return from our backsliding or not.
The simple answer to that question is sin and since the holy spirit is holy, he can’t dwell in the presence of sin and iniquity. No, the holy spirit does not leave you. Heal my faithlessness, whatever may be the reason for my backsliding.
Can the holy spirit leave a backslider. The lord calls that person back to himself through the work of the holy spirit. I say if he or she is truly saved because they’re many people who call themselves christians who are not.
Does the holy spirit dwell in the backslider the short answer is yes, if he or she is truly saved (born again). Forgive my sins so far and restore to me the joy of your salvation. First of all, backsliding and blasphemy of the holy spirit are two different situations.
If you have backslidden and this post is relevant to you then just know that god can and will still forgive you. The holy spirit doesn’t leave us as a result of sin(s) but was given to us because of sin. He whispers to us that we are better gifted than other charismatic lay catholics.
You can once again have all old things pass away by the power of the holy spirit now working for you. But there is good news for the backslider! It is my belief that there are many backsliders who are still filled with god�s spirit, some of whom will eventually come back because god is continually working with their spirit, and some who will die in unbelief, and ultimately go to hell, and some whom have become reprobate, in which case god has already withdrawn his spirit from them.
The holy spirit leaving the person is seen as referring to a special anointing of the spirit of god for a particular ministry. Does the holy spirit dwell in the backslider the short answer is yes, if he or she is truly saved (born again). The holy spirit is a person, he is the spirit of truth, he is the third person in the holy trinity of god.
I come with all humility and all my weaknesses to you. How many times will god forgive me? The sad pain of charismatic lay catholics this is how the enemy within steals the gifts of the holy spirit from us.
Rather than simply stating my position on the question i will offer a few thoughts and insights to stir up your own. One cannot be saved, then lost, then saved, then lost every time they sin. It speaks about ‘falling away’ and not blasphemy of the holy spirit as some teach.
Rather than leave you dangling, we’ll take a stab at addressing your concerns. You are near to all who call upon you in truth. Yes, of course, god still loves the backslider even if they have turned their backs on him and promises any backslider restoration if they come to him in true repentance for their backslidings.
Backsliding & blasphemy of the holy spirit. In the parable, the father saw his son returning while he was still far off. Does the holy spirit dwell in the backslider the short answer is yes, if he or she is truly saved (born again).
Finally, let the holy spirit lead you, fill you, encourage you, and empower you as you go through the day. The whole point of jesus coming and dying for us, taking our place, and becoming sin for us (2 corinthians 5:21) is because we sin and are in need of a savior. You can once again be that brand new creation that god has made you to be in his son jesus.
1 john 1:8, 9 tells believers to immediately confess their sin and get right with god. King saul was commanded by god kill and destroy all the amalek and their property but saul spared agag, the best of sheep, oxen, fatlings and all that was good. Whatever the case may be, today it is not possible for the holy spirit to abandon a believer.
There is no limit on how many times you may ask forgiveness from god , even for the same repeated sin. The bible clearly tells us so! Nevertheless, we can see that you’re really struggling in this area, and we’d like to help if we possibly can.
If we live by the spirit, let us also walk by the spirit. Can the holy spirit leave a backslider? So, what does he do when we sin?
But even if the holy ghost does leave the backslider, he won’t stop trying to convict the backslider to return and be restored unto the lord if they have lost their salvation. Send your spirit of conviction so that i may confess all my shortcomings to you and you alone. One such example where god’s love for backsliders can be seen is in the book of jeremiah 3:22 where the lord pleads with the children of israel to.
The bible teaches that once we are “born again” we are sealed by the holy spirit and we have a bond that can never be broken. You see, positionally the backslider’s spirit is still righteous but that doesn’t mean they automatically go to heaven. Why the holy spirit leaves a backslider?
“and do not grieve the holy spirit of god, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” (ephesians 4:30, esv) in the original greek, this usage of the word grief indicates that the holy spirit is not so much sad as he is offended. God does not condemn him. The holy spirit was given to convict us of sin and show us our need of a savior.
God’s loving concern for the backslider is steadfast and sure. That is why they can still repent and positionally stay right with god. The holy spirit does not leave.
In the new testament church the story of the prodigal son has become a representation of a backslider, but the nice part about this parable is that jesus knew that he was trying to repent and return to his father. Once there has been sufficient discussion i will state my position. Can someone lose the holy spirit?
The backslider is not lost the moment they commit a sin. I am somewhat uncomfortable with the way the… And it is for this reason the spirit of god departed from king saul.
We can see this clearly in the parable of the prodigal son. If you disobey and rebel, the holy spirit will depart.
