Quotes:
Having the Spirit ALWAYS with you
“The promised blessing for honoring [the] covenant [of
baptism] is that we may always have His Spirit to be with us (see D&C
20:77). …
“… Precisely because the promised blessing is that we may
always have His Spirit to be with us, we should attend to and learn from the
choices and influences that separate us from the Holy Spirit.
“The standard is clear. If something we think, see, hear,
or do distances us from the Holy Ghost, then we should stop thinking, seeing,
hearing, or doing that thing. If that which is intended to entertain, for
example, alienates us from the Holy Spirit, then certainly that type of
entertainment is not for us. Because the Spirit cannot abide that which is
vulgar, crude, or immodest, then clearly such things are not for us. Because we
estrange the Spirit of the Lord when we engage in activities we know we should
shun, then such things definitely are not for us.”

Spirit to Be with Us,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2006, 29–30).
