I receieved the Lord Jesus in 2008, and then baptized in water on Feb 2010, I have failed the Lord so many times, in my life , I have not left church never, but started involving in wordly activities such as video games, movies, lie to parents, and getting angry with famliy. In ocassions I would feel the conviction from God in my to repent and ask for forgiveness , but I have to say that as I started going away on my spiritual life(not praying, not reading and studying the bible) , taking part on wordly things, the presence and voice of the Lord in my heart have not speak in my spirit .
I have read that the Holy Spirit can be grieved and quenched , and also the Bible speak about an unpordannable sin , which is blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
In the Old testament, The Holy Spirit indwelt King Saul, but then departed from him (1 Samuel 16:14).
David ask God in psalm 51 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
There is more examples in the Old Testament . Which show the Holy Spirit indweling in prophets and kings, for example samson.
In the New testament
John 14:15-17
"If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever--the Spirit of truth".
Ephesians 4:30
speaks about the seal of the Holy Spirit, but I am not sure if is refering to the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Have this happened to anybody, could this mean that I am lukewarmed, did God have left me ? I still feel the need for pray, I have prayed like never before, I am leaving all sinful thigs,
Please I ask you for your prayers and testimonies, and prayful thoughts, I feel very depress and confussed at the moment. I need the Lord peace .
God Bless You.
