Today,
reply is on whether a believer having Jesus Christ as their Savior
could lose the Holy Spirit. The blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of
the Highest, has been provided as the only atonement and sacrifice
for sins; and the operations of the Holy Spirit are not as a
sacrifice for sin. Even so, as the co-worker of Jesus for the
salvation of mankind, there is no greater spokesperson and witness
sent by GOD to mankind than the Holy Spirit. Believers are to be
workers with divinity. It is written: Psalms 51: 10-13, King James
Version (KJV): 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a
right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and
take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy
salvation; and uphold me with
thy free spirit. 13 Then
will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted
unto thee. One of the fighters in the “Yahoo! Answers” public

Please
help clarify?
I
have read that the Holy Spirit departs is when we are sinning so, If
we are all born to sin and the spirit that is working in us is what
helps us to be strong and resist and it is not of our power to resist
strongholds ... then how can the Holy Spirit help us if it departs??
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again
to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,
that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs
of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with
him, that we may be also glorified together. (Romans 8:
15-17, King James Version, KJV)

even born again believers in Jesus Christ may resist and repel the
Holy Spirit. Many mature Christian believers will agree that fire
baptism and receiving the falling of the Holy Ghost are provided
through the ministry of Jesus Christ as one-time events to
permanently establish the active presence of Jesus within the
life of a sinner who chooses to become a developing Christian
believer. Living on the earth, new believers are to become
mature/ripe for harvest by Jesus at his coming. Sinners will be
transformed to exist as vessels of sacred substance through
operations by the Holy Spirit (we also say, the Comforter, the Spirit
of Grace, the Spirit of Prophecy, the Spirit of Truth). Inseparable
aspects of divine fullness will be imparted from the makeup of GOD
that include balance, faith, forbearance, holiness, longsuffering,
lovingkindness, perseverance, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against
sin. Fresh deposits and endowments of life essence (breath; spirit; word) connect the developing believer to divinity as
an offspring, an heir of GOD, and the new creation of Jesus
Christ. Thereby, the Spirit is the primary witness that those
formerly sinners are now become the children of GOD.
Developing
believers are cautioned to discern, respond to promptings from the
Spirit, and reverence the Holy Spirit at all times. Believers are to
participate as workers who spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and who
regularly assemble together with other members of the body (i.e., the
church). Believers will not bear godly fruit where they rely only on
such human tools as intellect, logic, philosophy, carnal reason,
science, and finite self-will (willpower). There must be a divine
increase that appears as authentic relationship. For this reason,
blaspheming the Spirit will not be forgiven in this life, or the life
to come. To disobey, argue against the Spirit, deny his
consecration, and resist the Spirit annuls the workings of the Holy
Spirit as the primary spokesperson sent from divinity. Consider
again the following that uses language from the Bible to describe the
sacred process and substance that appear:
1.
Leviticus 26: 13-24, King James Version (KJV): 13 I am the
LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the
land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken
the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. 14 But if ye will
not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15 And
if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments,
so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break
my covenant: 16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint
over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall
consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your
seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my
face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they
that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none
pursueth you. 18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto
me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I
will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as
iron, and your earth as brass: 20 And your strength shall be spent
in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall
the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21 And if ye walk contrary
unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more
plagues upon you according to your sins. 22 I will also send wild
beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy
your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways
shall be desolate. 23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these
things, but will walk contrary unto me; 24 Then will I also walk
contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

Matthew 13: 17-23, KJV: 17 For verily I say unto you, That many
prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things
which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those
things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 18 Hear ye
therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word
of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the
wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his
heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he
that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth
the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in
himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution
ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also
that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and
the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the
word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into
the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it;
which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold,
some sixty, some thirty.

Proverbs 1: 22-31, KJV: 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love
simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools
hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out
my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because
I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no
man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would
none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will
mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation,
and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish
cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not
answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For
that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled
with their own devices.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. Hebrews 10: 23-29, KJV: 23 Let us
hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for
he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one
another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;
but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see
the day approaching. 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have
received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more
sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment
and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He
that despised Moses’ law died
without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer
punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden
under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the
covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done
despite unto the Spirit of grace?) Even so, I trust this fragment
will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
