The Biblical Foundation of the Promise
What Does Scripture Say?
The Bible is rich with passages affirming God’s steadfast presence. Verses like Deuteronomy 31:6 remind us: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” This assurance is echoed throughout both the Old and New Testaments, offering a timeless message of God’s loyalty to His people.
Jesus’ Assurance to His Disciples
In the New Testament, Jesus extends this promise to His followers. He reassures them in Matthew 28:20: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” This declaration emphasizes that God’s presence is not confined to a specific moment but remains with us perpetually, through every challenge and triumph.
Understanding God’s Presence Through the Holy Spirit
From the Tabernacle to the Heart
As highlighted in the transcript, the presence of God transitioned from the Tabernacle in the Old Testament to dwelling within us through the Holy Spirit. This shift reflects a profound intimacy and accessibility. No longer distant, God is now closer than ever, indwelling in believers and guiding them in every aspect of life.
The Role of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is more than a companion; He is a teacher, comforter, and source of wisdom. Romans 5:5 declares, “The love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” This indwelling presence enables believers to live a life of purpose, reflecting God’s love in their actions and attitudes.
Faith in Action
Living by Faith, Not by Sight
Faith involves trusting in the unseen, as mentioned in the transcript. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This mindset allows believers to call things that are not as though they were, just as Abraham did.
Practical ways to live by faith include:
- Declaring God’s promises over your life.
- Trusting His timing in uncertain situations.
- Allowing His peace to replace anxiety and fear.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer is a vital way to nurture faith and remain aware of God’s presence. The transcript emphasizes praying in the Spirit, as described in 1 Corinthians 14:14: “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays.” Praying in the Spirit deepens our connection to God and opens our hearts to His guidance.
Embracing God’s Gifts
Spiritual Gifts for Every Believer
The transcript underscores the accessibility of spiritual gifts to every believer. These gifts, including discernment, healing, and wisdom, are not reserved for a select few. They are tools for building others up and manifesting God’s love in tangible ways.
To embrace these gifts:
- Be open to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
- Act in faith, trusting God to work through you.
- Use your gifts to serve others, reflecting His love.
Overcoming Life’s Challenges
Holding On to Hope
The promise that “He will never leave you” becomes particularly meaningful during difficult times. As the transcript states, “Your faith won’t stop. Through faith and perseverance, they inherited the promises of God.” This perseverance is key to overcoming trials while keeping your eyes fixed on His faithfulness.
A Story of Faith in Action
The transcript shares a moving example of someone who gave selflessly to support the spread of the Gospel. Acts of faith like these remind us of the ripple effect of living in alignment with God’s promises.
Living in the Reality of His Presence
The transcript concludes with a powerful reflection: “You in Him, and Him in you, you are united with Him, one Spirit with God the Holy Spirit.” This unity forms the foundation of a life filled with purpose, joy, and assurance.
Take time daily to acknowledge His presence, whether through prayer, worship, or simply quiet reflection. As you do, you will find renewed strength and clarity for your path.
Final Thoughts
The message “He will never leave you” is not just a comforting phrase; it is a life-changing truth. God’s presence is a constant source of peace and guidance, empowering you to live boldly and faithfully.
Remember, no matter what you face, you are never alone. His promise endures: “He will never leave you, nor forsake you.”

00:36 – You know, Abraham called the things that are not as though they were. He was called the father of many nations, and he had no son, no kids. Later, the kids came, and now he is the father of nations. And you and I, we look into the future and we say what God says about it.
01:09 – Your redemption is close by. So, He said it to His disciples, and redemption came. You are the redeemed; I am the redeemed. That’s wonderful. Our redemption came through Jesus Christ.
01:28 – Now, it’s incredible. The prophecy says you will get a new heart, a new spirit. The Holy Spirit will indwell you, will be around you, will be upon you. You see, God limited Himself in the Old Testament. His presence was in the Tabernacle.
01:57 – Then Jesus came. His presence was in Jesus. Jesus was the fullness of God. He walked around, and the disciples could see Him, but He longed to be in us. That was His desire. So, Jesus said, “When I leave, I’ll send the Holy Spirit.” Jesus prayed, and He said, “Father, I pray that the same love that You love me and I love You with will be in them.”
02:32 – Romans 5:5 says, “The love of God is in us by the Holy Spirit that He gave us.”
02:41 – You see, my friend, the Holy Spirit, the presence of God, the Holy Spirit. Do you want to learn more? Do you want to experience the presence of God more—not in a fleshly way—but just know He is here? Is He there with you?

03:36 – Holy Spirit, thank You that You show us the Word. Thank You that You inspire us. You pray in the Spirit. In the Spirit. Can you pray with me a little bit in the Spirit? 1 Corinthians 14:14 says, “When I pray in tongues, my spirit prays.”
03:58 – [Prayer in tongues]

05:22 – Isn’t that wonderful to have a special language that you can use to pray to God? 1 Corinthians 14 says, “When I pray in a tongue, I speak to God.” You can speak your heart. God will arrange the things. God sees your heart. You pray your heart.

Keep on shining. Allow the Holy Spirit in your life. You see, it’s not by power or might. It’s not by effort.
06:29 – I’ll send you the link for the website. I know it’s mostly in Afrikaans. But if you know an Afrikaans person, send it to them. Send it to them so that this gospel must move. One lady came to my car the other day when I was preaching, and she threw R200 on the table and said, “This gospel must move. Use the money,” and she left. I never saw her again.
06:59 – You see, the gospel is your answer, my dear friend. The gospel is your answer. The good news of the death of Jesus, the burial, the resurrection, and then the accomplishment of that: The Holy Spirit is in you.
07:26 – The Holy Spirit comes upon you. You were baptised with the Holy Spirit and fire. Jesus wants to inhabit you. The Holy Spirit wants to possess you. Man, you don’t like that word “possession.” But if it’s from God, it’s wonderful. I want to be possessed by the Holy Spirit. Do you?
07:57 – You see, it’s in your consecration, just yielding to Him, that He takes His place.
08:05 – Jesus said, “I do nothing unless My Father tells Me to.” We say, “I don’t do anything unless the Holy Spirit unctions me.” Are you unctioned by the Holy Spirit? Do you know that unction? My dear friend, it’s for you. It’s for you. Thank You, Father. Thank You, Father.
08:34 – You inhabit the praises of Your people. But now You inhabit us. You are in us. You are filling us. You are with us. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father. You will never leave us nor forsake us. That’s why we’ll never go to hell. No, not ever, ever, ever, because the Holy Spirit won’t go there.
08:56 – You in Him, and Him in you, you are united with Him, one spirit with God, the Holy Spirit.

And that’s you.
