The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 320

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:1-3) 53 God gave those senses, but they’re given to you as a gift. And it depends on how you, what you yield these senses to, will be the way that your life is controlled, the way you yield those five senses. You’re…What you see, what you hear, what you taste, smell, or feel. Whatever those senses are yielded to, they will dominate you. 54 And we are grateful to God that we have the five senses. But by no means was these five senses given, to you, to guide you. They were given to you for earthly contact. But there was given you the sixth sense, and, that sixth sense, is belongs only to the Christian. And you cannot have this sixth sense until you become a Christian; is the only way that you can ever have any more than the five natural senses for the natural person. But, sixth sense is better known, to the Christian, as faith. It’s the one that governs and guides you, and it is superior to all the other senses. It’s a superior to all of the senses, the other, five senses. 55 Now, I would not say that because that we receive the sixth sense that the five senses are no good no more. Yes, they are. Those five senses were given to you by God, and they are to be used. But when the five senses act contrary to the Word of God, then they are lying. 56 Now, the sixth sense cannot lie. It’s a super sense. And that’s what I want to speak about. This morning I spoke on: A Super Sign. And tonight on: A Super Sense. 57 And the super sense is the Holy Spirit, the faith of God that dwells in you. And if you’ll let the five senses be yielded to the sixth sense, it’ll guide you and bring all the other five senses under control of that super sense. For it’s so far above the natural sense, as the spiritual man is above the natural. It’s as far, as high as the heavens is, above the natural man and his five senses. It makes you believe things that you cannot see. It makes you act where you do not think the five senses would ever think about it. The devil can get into these five senses and lie to you, but he cannot touch that super sense. That’s far beyond his reach. That come from God. It’s called faith. Faith is that great thing. 58 And the five senses does not control the sixth sense, but the sixth sense controls the five senses. The super sense controls the natural senses. And the—the five senses is see, taste, feel, smell, hear. And the super sense is something that’ll make you believe God’s Word, for that’s the only thing it’ll speak about. It’ll make you believe for things that you can’t see, taste, feel, smell, or hear, ’cause it’ll take God’s Word. And it will deliver that Word to you, and make you walk contrary to any other thing there is but God’s Word, by faith. Faith does it. 59 Now, in giving this illustration, of the senses, the natural man is born with these senses, so they are nature-given senses. And that’s really only thing he’ll ever know about it, in his intellectual thinking. He can only think as a man. He can see as a man. He can understand as a man. He can hear as a man. But when he becomes governed, or regenerated, or we would call it “born again,” then that sixth, super sense takes a hold of him. In doing so, that super sense raises him up into a spot to where he has faith to believe things that he could not hear, things that he could not see, understandings that he could not understand. He believes it, anyhow, because he’s governed by that sixth sense, that super sense. Oh, how marvelous it is to know it, and to think how simple it is to believe it! 59-1227e - "A Super Sense" Rev.
