What
is intuition?
Intuition is defined as the ability to sense or
know immediately without reasoning. Intuition has many related meanings,
including: Quick and ready insight seemingly independent of previous
experiences or empirical knowledge ,immediate apprehension or cognition, that
is, knowledge or conviction without consideration, thought, or inference.
Understanding without apparent effort, a perceptive insight. It is a sense of
something not evident or deducible; an impression.
In
our spirit we have 5 senses as well as 5 senses in our soul and body.
Our
spirit man knows what to do.
1
Chron. 12:32a And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had
understanding of the times, to know what
to do
(1Ch
12:32) From Issachar's descendants there
were 200 leaders who understood the times and knew what Israel should do. Their
relatives were under their command.
But
solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have
their (spiritual) senses exercised to
discern good and evil" (Heb. 5:14).
"O
taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in
Him" (Psalm 34:8).
Frequently,
Scripture uses our five physical senses in a figurative way to help us
comprehend our interaction with the heavenly realm of God's presence and power.
Spiritual
Seeing
We
can "see," for example, with spiritual eyes. Paul prayed thus for the
believer: "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may
know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His
inheritance in the saints" (Ephesians 1:18).
Spiritual
Hearing
Similarly,
we are privileged to hear the voice of the Lord with spiritual ears. "My
sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). "A stranger
will they not follow, . . . for they know not the voice of strangers" (John 10:5).
Spiritual
Feeling/Knowing
The
sense of touch is the sense of feeling, and God can both touch and be touched.
We read, for example, of "a band of men, whose hearts God had
touched" (I Samuel 10:26). Of Jesus Christ, it is said that He is not a
remote deity "which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities"
(Hebrews 4:15). Even people who
never knew Him can perhaps "feel after Him, and find Him" (Acts 17:27) if they truly
desire His great salvation.
Spiritual
Smell &Taste
We
can even become "unto God a sweet savor of Christ" (II Corinthians
2:15). To the world, the faithful Christian life and testimony can either be
"the savor of death unto death" to those who refuse it, or "the
savor of life unto life" (II Corinthians 2:16).
Finally,
we are exhorted actually to taste the Lord, and see that He is good! His Word
will be, according to our needs, either "sincere milk" (I Peter 2:2),
"strong meat" (Hebrews
5:14),
or "sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb" (Psalm 19:10). HMM
Our spiritual senses in tune with Holy Spirit knows what to do. It's called wisdom.
