''“Never will I leave you. Never will I forsake you.” In the Greek, there are five negative particles in that verse.

"... whenever you go to thinking you got a right to do this and do that, the Dove just takes Her flight and goes on away. Then you don't have It any more. Now, she's not very far from you this morning, church. She's setting right out there on the limb of peace, waiting for your nature to be changed." -William Branham
So what is the Dove (capital D) he is speaking of? Is it the Holy Spirit? If it's not, then who cares if the dove goes away... but if it is, can you lose the Holy Spirit? And is the Holy Spirit a 'She"?
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”[1]
“Never will I leave you. Never will I forsake you.” In the Greek, there are five negative particles in that verse. Therefore, it’s a little hard to translate it, but let me give you a literal translation. God says, “I will never, never, never, never, never leave you alone. I will never forsake you. I will never, never, never, never, never forsake you or leave you alone.”[2]
