There are several references to 'a broken spirit' or broken heart in Scripture and it has slightly different shades of meaning. Here is one referencing Isaiah 61 (compare Job 17:1 and Psalm 51:17 as examples):

Luke 4:18New King James Version (NKJV)

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

Because He has anointed Me

To preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

Where in the Bible you can find the verse that says the spirit is always here but not always in you?

There isn't actually a Scripture in the Bible that says that. But only true Christians possess the Holy Spirit within them (I Corinthians 6:19) and he will continue to be in them and not leave. Unbelievers do not have the Holy Spirit in them. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit would come upon certain people whom God wanted to use, but generally the Holy Spirit did not abide in any person.

When does the holy spirit enter into a person?

The answer to this question is unknown since it is not written specifically in the Bible. The Bible mentions the Holy Spirit but not specifically when we receive it. In Psalm David asks God not to take the Holy Spirit away from him, which means David had The Holy Spirit and was afraid God would take it away. In the New Testament Jesus says to his disciples that He is leaving but will send a 'Helper', this is considered to be the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is about the Disciples receiving The Holy Spirit. So, although the Bible talks about The Holy Spirit, it does not tell us when we receive or why.
