Quote from the audio message, How To Receive the Holy Spirit. So that was David’s testimony. And when David sinned and came to a terrible a place before God of being guilty even as the leader of God’s people, his prayer is found in Psalm 51 verse 11. Psalm 51:11: Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. David knew the one thing he could not afford was to lose the presence of the Holy Spirit in his life. There was a magazine many, many years ago that was published in South Africa call The Standard Bearer. Probably none of you ever saw it. It was a Pentecostal magazine. It was a very high-classed magazine and I once remember getting a copy of it in my hands somewhere in the 1940s and there was a picture of something, a scene or a waterfall or something like that, but there was a little sentence written at the bottom that I have never forgotten and it said this: “Life’s greatest tragedy is to lose the presence of God and not even know you’ve lost it.” And I really thought to myself at that time, “God, may that never happen to me. May the Holy Spirit never leave me and I not be even aware that He’s gone.”
