  Link to 📻 podcast Recommended Action: 🙏If you feel spiritually dry, take time to pray, confess, and seek God’s Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you afresh. Holy Spirit The Bible does not explicitly state that the Holy Spirit leaves believers in the New Testament era, as the Holy Spirit is described as a permanent indwelling presence for those who are saved (John 14:16-17, Ephesians 1:13-14).
