In the hearts of those who do not want to know him.God is present everywhere in one the sense, as he has created all, but his holy spirit or presence would not be felt where people are not following his instructions as set out in the scriptures...or among those who do profess to teach from the scriptures but prove false to its teaching.SEE...JOHN 4 V 24, MATTHEW 24 V 23-26, CHAPTER 7 V 15-23,ROMANS 10 V 2-3, ROMANS 12 V 2-3, MATTHEW 7 V 21-23, MATTHEW 7 V 20, LUKE 17 V 20, 21. (GENESIS 1 V 2..Gods presence or holy spirit is his active force or power, also used to create the earth)

It is not felt any time, anywhere. If you do feel it, it is just some sort of defense mechanism that releases some crazy dopamine or some crap to make you feel better when you are down. There should be a study or something. Actually there probably was and I just don't know about it. All religious nonsense is debunked with thought and study.

The human heart is full of pain and darkness. However, with God you can totally lose yourself and in losing yourself you can lose the darkness. To feel the presence of God you must totally forget about yourself. To feel the presence of God you must totally remove yourself. In order to totally lose, forget, and remove yourself, you must turn away from the darkness within you and turn toward Christ. Whenever temptation comes, turn away from the temptation. Whenever pain comes, turn away from the pain. Whenever doubt comes, turn away from the doubt. We must not just turn away, we must turn toward Christ. In our turning away we can always feel the presence of God as we turn to Christ. In our turning away, we have only two directions in which we can turn. We can turn toward God and His presence of love or we can turn toward Satan. There are no gray areas. Our choice in this matter is clear. If we do not feel the presence of God, we do not feel His presence because the power of darkness is coming against us and we have not turned toward Christ. However, we are not helpless or hopeless in this spiritual war. Our greatest weapon is our will and our ability to use our will so we can, every second we are alive, turn away from darkness and turn toward Christ. So whenever temptation comes, turn toward Christ and actually feel His presence. Whenever pain comes, turn toward Christ and actually feel His presence. Whenever doubt comes, turn toward Christ and actually feel His presence.
