Unlock the secrets of the spiritual realm with our fascinating journey into the world of spiritual senses! Did you know that spiritual senses give you access to a whole new level of existence? In this episode, we’ll explore the depths of spiritual senses and their decisive role in manifesting spiritual gifts. Just like our physical senses, there are spiritual senses that operate beyond the physical realm. Join us as we delve into replicating the five physical senses in the spirit and discover even more senses that exist beyond the physical world. Get ready to expand your understanding of the spiritual realm and spiritual senses.
Understanding Spirits
Spirits are beings or entities composed of energy – that require a physical body to interact directly with the physical realm. According to John 4:24, God is a Spirit, and it is essential for worshippers to worship Him in spirit and truth. As humans, we comprise three parts – spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Although most of us are more aware of the physical body, our spirit interacts directly with the spiritual realm. Therefore, it is crucial to learn how to discern the operation of our spiritual senses in order to interact consciously and tangibly with the spiritual realm. This will give us an edge to walk in the spiritual gifts.
The Spiritual Senses
As we learn from science about the five physical senses, it’s important to note that the spiritual realm encompasses many senses beyond the physical five – sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It’s worth noting that spirits are not limited to only these five senses, as there are countless others that are difficult to quantify. In this discussion, we’ll delve into seven spiritual senses that are crucial in unlocking your spiritual gifts. Here are some examples of spiritual senses.
Here are some examples of spiritual senses
1. The Sense of Sight: The spiritual sense of sight is akin to our physical sense of sight, but it involves perceiving visions through spiritual eyes. People can experience this sense through open visions, inner visions, trances, and dreams, which offer glimpses into the spiritual realms.
2. The Sense of Hearing: In John 12:28-29, it is revealed that Jesus heard the voice of the Father audibly. This suggests that in the spiritual realm, individuals can receive messages through the sense of hearing. The way this experience manifests can differ, with some people hearing in one ear, both ears or even internally.
3. The Sense of Taste: Psalm 34:8 (NKJV) says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” This verse suggests that individuals can discern the spiritual nature of things through taste. For instance, when you see yourself in a vision and taste anything the Lord offers to you, it is taste in action. As Ezekiel 3:3 (NKJV) states, “And He said to me, ‘Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.’ So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.”
4. The Sense of Smell: In 2 Corinthians 2:15, Christians are said to emit the sweet aroma of Christ. Learning that angels exude sweet fragrances while demonic entities emit foul scents is fascinating. Recognizing these spiritual smells can provide insights into the nature of the spiritual presence in a given environment. Amazingly, our sense of smell can help us anticipate coming events and work for or against them. For instance, smelling fire may indicate that a fire might catch something, and we should take precautions and pray against it.
5. The Sense of Touch: Feelings can have a spiritual source, and the spiritual sense of touch allows individuals to comprehend and empathize with the feelings of others. The ability to perceive physical or emotional distress in someone else, even when it is not overtly expressed, is a unique ability that enables one to use God’s gift to help others achieve freedom. Sometimes, you may experience a gentle spiritual touch on your body, which could be the touch of Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit. You may also feel the blessings of God showering upon you like rain.
6. The Sense of Knowing: In Matthew 12:25, it is written that Jesus was aware of the thoughts of those around him and spoke to them accordingly. This idea of knowing beyond what can be seen or proven is also mentioned in Luke 5:22-23. This intuitive knowledge enables individuals to understand information about others, such as their names, addresses, or health conditions, without any tangible explanation. It is a feeling of knowing with absolute certainty.
7. The Sense of Becoming: The sense of becoming is a remarkable and deep sense that allows individuals to temporarily “become” another person or a thing, gaining insights into their thoughts and experiences. This concept is in line with the biblical idea of knowing as we are known, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13.
