To: reaganaut; Saundra Duffy
...and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen

Saundra, if you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit of God is with you ALWAYS and will never leave you. No conditions.

And I personally thank God for that with all my heart because I can never keep all His commandments, no matter how hard I try.

In ACTS 11:13, Jesus says, "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Notice there are no conditions, you just ASK!

In John 14:16, Jesus gives us another promise: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— "

FOREVER! Not "until you break a commandment". God knows we are not capable of that - thats' why we're all in this mess and need God to rescue us.
