In the time of OT, like with Saul the Holy Spirit did not always strive with man.. David, plead, Do not cast me away from Your presence,And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. But in today's NW testament times does the Spirit LEAVE US ?. Does the LORD leave us forever even though He said He will NEVER leave us?
Does departing from the Faith MEAN that the Spirit will leave us?

The Holy Spirit will never leave however when you walk away from the Lord the Holy spirit is not able to be active until you return back to the Lord.. its kind of like dough.. in order to rise you need active yeast..but that yeast in order to be active needs warm water!!! without that water the yeast is useless and will not let the dough rise!! This is why it is important not to put yourself in a position were the Lord can not be active.. like for another exp.. if you know the Lord is telling you not to go to a certain place and you go there anyway.. the Holy spirit can not be active at that time because you put yourself in that position. Does not mean he wont protect you though if you ask him too :) hope that helped and was not to difficult to understand!
