Hebrews 10:38 (KJV)
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Fayemi was drowning spiritually and he knew it. He could no longer pray like before, and when he did, he wasn’t sure his prayers had power.
It wasn’t always like this. There was a time in his life that he had great faith, but his faith eroded with time because he was living in disobedience.
Abraham was a man of great faith. This faith made him obey the Lord every step of the way. That is what faith does.
Faith and obedience are two sides of the same coin. No one can say he has faith in God (or he has the faith of God) without being obedient to God. Those who truly have faith in the Lord Jesus would obey His commandments (see Luke 6:46-49). Those who constantly walk in disobedience do this to the detriment of their faith. A good example of disobedience is being unequally yoked together with unbelievers (see 2 Cor 6:14).
One of the ways you will know if your faith is dying is through your prayer life. It takes faith to pray in the spirit, but when this becomes increasingly difficult, it is an indication that you need [spiritual] healing.
Go into today remembering that you cannot live by faith and live in disobedience to the word of the Lord.
Ask the Lord to deliver you from every disobedience, and empower you to always live in obedience to His will.
