Jesus is still with us in the valley. He is not with us to say, “I told you so.” He is not standing there, with arms folded, to see how we will get out of the trouble we got ourselves into.

No, Jesus is a shepherd whose tender heart toward you will never allow Him to forsake you when you need Him the most. See Him with you protecting you, delivering you from death and bringing you safely through every season of darkness.

Are you feeling discouraged? Perhaps you’re facing depression, self-doubt, or fear—but these things are no match for Jesus’ unconditional love for you. Remembering He is with you and will never forsake you is the start of your healing.

The Holy Spirit Will Never Leave You

“Now Yahweh’s Spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Yahweh troubled him. Saul’s servants said to him, “See now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.” (1 Samuel‬ ‭16:14-15‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When Saul kept sinning against God by disobeying His instructions through prophet Samuel, the Holy Spirit departed from Saul. In its place, an evil spirit was allowed to pester Saul. God had removed His hand of protection from Saul and he no longer had the anointing of a king.

“Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me. Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your holy Spirit from me.” (Psalms‬ ‭51:9-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When David sinned by committing adultery with Bathsheba and conspired to murder her husband Uriah, God rebuked him through the prophet Nathan, and David was sorrowful. He wrote the words in the psalm above. David was so afraid that God would remove the Holy Spirit from him, just like He did to Saul.

Under the Law, if someone sins, the Holy Spirit can depart from him. The Law is a covenant whereby God’s presence, anointing, and blessings depended on man’s obedience.

I watched a sermon video the other day of Katherine Kuhlman preaching a nonsensical message, with “take not Your Holy Spirit from me” as a focus. She also said that if we desired the power of the Holy Spirit and to see miracles, we have to ‘pay the price’.

“Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.” So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”” (Hebrews‬ ‭13:5-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

As far as I know, God has promised to never leave or forsake us in any way. He will never remove His Holy Spirit from us.

On top of that, the blood that Jesus shed at the cross is what paid the full price for us to have the Holy Spirit and the fullness of His power. We could not pay the price and that is why Abba God sent Jesus to pay it on our behalf.

“I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,— the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.” (John‬ ‭14:16-17‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Read Jesus’ words above. Under Grace, the Holy Spirit will “be with you forever”—not just until the next time you sin. It is not based on your obedience, but the obedience of Christ at the cross.

Do not let anyone bring you into the bondage of wrong believing, no matter how famous they are. We must know the Scriptures so that we will not be deceived.

Need help understanding the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John correctly through the lens of Grace? I know how intimidating reading the four gospels can be. When I was a new believer, some passages in there were just frightful and discouraging.

The reason was because I did not know how to rightly divide the Word based on the covenants. I thought everything in there was directed at me.

For example, Jesus said that if you eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, for it is better for you to enter Heaven without eyes than to have your entire being cast into the fire of Hell. Are we supposed to pluck our eyes out when we sin? Are we supposed to cut off our arms and legs like Jesus said? We need to understand the important reason why He said what He did. There is a purpose that you won’t understand if you have no context or background knowledge of the whole Bible.

If you are new to reading the four gospels for yourself, or you have some questions about difficult passages in there, I would like to recommend you read my four-ebook bundle called “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”.

As you read it, many confusing pieces of Scripture will be unlocked to you, and things that used to scare you will be read in the right light. Get the bundle now to enjoy 20% off the usual price, and you can download and read it right away:

This clip is from: Joseph Prince—Jesus' Passionate Love Unveiled In The Song Of Songs—Part 2 (27 Aug 2014) @josephprince

Though the truth that God will never leave nor forsake us (see Heb. 13:5) is one we know by heart, there will inevitably be times we just don’t seem to feel His presence near us. Or perhaps you once relished His presence, but it's been a long time since you last felt it.

The Shulamite woman in Song of Solomon chapter 5 had a similar experience when she felt distant from her Beloved and could no longer sense His presence. But it was a surprisingly simple action that changed how she felt! As other people asked her all about her Beloved and she began sharing about His goodness, her love and appreciation for Him began to rekindle.

If you're feeling far from Jesus today, why not tell a friend or loved one about your experience with Him and what He has done for you? Besides reminding yourself of the Lord's goodness and love for you, it may stir their heart and curiosity towards Him as well. Who knows, they may want to know Him personally too!

'the love that died forsake' Lyrics Written by Franklin Mcniel ?

Remember me of all the promises that you made years ago
Where did it go now ?
Remember me of the love that you said would stay forever
Is it buried with you now ?

Hey, you know what? Just forget it
But don’t ever tell anybody
Or to your new lover how did we fuck and kiss

Chorus
You painted me with a colour that I can’t
Find in anybody else
You come but then you walk away
But you promise you’d stay
And if I’m dead to you, babe
Then why are you still at my wake
How could you said it was fair
If you got the good, I got the bad
On the love that died forsake

Verse 2
All I can see is us
Right in the down fall, begging for more
But you’re not my problem anymore

‘Cause you know what? Let’s forget it
But don’t ever tell anybody
Or to your new lover how did we fuck and kiss

Chorus
You taught me a language that I can’t
Speak with anybody else
You gave it all but then you walk away
But you promise you’d stay
And if i’m dead to you, babe
Then why are you still at my wake
How could you said it was fair
If you got the good, I got the bad
On the love that died forsake

Bridge
Meet me at the place we met
Just incase that you wish to come back
Oh If I could dance with you again
I’ll hold you as you falls in

Chorus
You got a beautiful things that you can’t
Get in anybody else
I come but then I walk away
Oh baby, how ‘bout that ?
And if you’re dead to me, babe
Then why are you still at the wake
How could you said it was fair
If you got the good, I got the bad
On the love that died forsake

Outro
Meet me at the place we met
(Yeah at the place we met, Pullman Hotel)
Just incase that you wish to come back
