I believe Adam and Eve had more than five senses. I believe they had six senses, and the sixth was the most important of all senses. It was this sense they lost when they ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
With the sixth sense, Adam and Eve were able to perceive the presence of God when He was in their midst. This sense in many ways can be called faith, thus resting in the complete ability of God. It could be a form of spiritual eyes.
But when Adam and Eve ate the fruit in Genesis 3:6, the scripture says in verse 7 that their eyes were opened. The eyes opened here are the physical eyes we use to see today. This was why they found out that they were naked. The reason was that they used their spiritual eyes to see all the while.
In 2 Kings 6 from verse 8, where the King of Syria sent his chariot and army to capture Elisha, Gehazi his servant panicked because of the great number of soldiers sent to capture his master and most likely himself. Elisha told his servant that those who are with them are more than the army. Verse 17 of 2 Kings 6 says, "And Elisha prayed, and said, “ Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."
The eyes the Lord opened were the spiritual eyes, in other words, the sixth sense, the sense Adam and Eve lost at their fall.
Throughout Jesus' stay on earth, He operated having the sixth sense. He could sense the spirit realm normally. He told the Jews in John 5:19 "Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner." Jesus, was always Spiritually alert because He saw with the sixth sense. In Matthew 16:23; and Mark 8:33, Jesus turned to Peter and rebuked Satan. This was because Jesus saw the spirit that was speaking through Peter. This was possible because Jesus used His sixth sense.
As Sons and Daughters of God, we are to walk by faith and not by sight (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:7). In other words, we now have the sixth sense, and we are to use it when walking with the Lord. This should be our normal way of life, just as it was for Jesus. This was why He could walk on water, heal the sick, cast out demons, and calm the sea because using His sixth sense was normal for Him. Likewise, we should do all that Jesus did because all that He is, we have become. And we have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us, who leads us into all truths.
Jesus said in John 6:63, that the words that He speaks are spirit and life. And only with the sixth sense can we ever perceive the spiritual things. This is why an ordinary man cannot understand or perceive spiritual things because he or she lacks the sixth sense.
The sixth sense is a sense of faith, that the Holy Spirit allows us to perceive things from the spirit realm as a normal way of life. This allows us to place spiritual things before physical things because the spiritual controls the physical.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
