At FaithPoint Church Cape Town, Pastor Jay Makopo called the church back to spiritual sensitivity in Catching Feelings: Numb No More. When your heart grows numb, you stop feeling what God feels, and that’s where danger begins. Sin waits for numbness (Genesis 4:7), and when God speaks but nothing stirs you, it’s a sign your spirit needs revival.

Pastor Jay highlighted three signs of numbness: becoming unteachable, holding on to “old wine” instead of embracing what God is doing now, and living off past victories while missing the demands of the present season.

But numbness is not permanent. God invites you to return with all your heart, to fast faithfully, to pray again, to feel again. He wants to restore the tenderness, conviction, and fire you once had.
“Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” - Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV
