Bobby, I would submit that The Spirit is always working on you. Every time you do any good deed, it's because the Holy Spirit acted on you, and you responded. All good comes from God. Without access to the influences of his Holy Spirit, you'd be a wretch of unspeakable wickedness.

Just because you (and I) don't always turn our attentions towards religion, it deosn't mean that God hasn't been working in our lives.

God is life. When He withdraws from you there is only one outcome.

yes sort of ... in the OT, the Spirit comes upon people for certain events (Samson, David) ... But Pentecost was different where each believe rec'd the Spirit of God ... NT Christians are indwelt and sealed by the Spirit ... and yet the Holy Spirit stills works on unbelievers, though He doesn't indwell them ...
