The language of the heart is transmitted through our Five Spiritual Senses. Let me unpack that for you a little bit:
The heart is the meeting place with God. If we have placed our faith in Jesus (in His death, burial, and resurrection), then He actually lives in our hearts by His Spirit.
However, to be led by the Holy Spirit, we have to cultivate an awareness of His presence. We do this by understanding the dynamics of the language of the heart... because, the Spirit of God speaks to our hearts (John 16:13).
The language of the heart is intuitive (its what we might call “right brained” perception). It resonates and is illuminated with words, music, art, imagination, dance... and the like. It’s a spiritual language that is transmitted through our Five Spiritual Senses.
In the same way that we have five natural senses, the ability to see, hear, taste, smell, and feel, we actually have Five Spiritual Senses… with corresponding spiritual capacities to perceive.
Jesus said that God is seeking after encounters with man (men and women). But He said that, because God is Spirit, we must worship (encounter) Him in Spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24). And, the Apostle Paul prayed for the Ephesians, in his letter to the Ephesians... he prayed that they would “know” (encounter) God, through the portal of having the eyes of their hearts enlightened (Eph. 1:18).
Let me illustrate this dynamic of activating our Five Spiritual Senses. Our Five Spiritual Senses are like an invisible doorway that opens to God’s very presence. What we need to do, is simply “turn the knob” and open the door to initiate an encounter with Him. We “turn the knob,” by asking God to illuminate (activate) our Five Spiritual Senses. In faith, we trust that He will do just that. When we “turn the knob,” if you could imagine this in your mind (in your heart)... when we turn the knob, He grabs the same knob on His side of the door, and pulls the door wide open. His Holy Spirit, living inside of us, will illuminate our capacity to perceive (sense) Him... through our Five Spiritual Senses. The result is that we become consciously aware of Him (at all times), and we meet with Him face-to-face, in “the secret place” (Matt. 6:6).
God is longing to meet with us (John 4:23). He is knocking on the door of our hearts… wanting us to open up the door and have a meal with Him (Rev. 3:20).
In our teaching called Five Smooth Stones, using the story of David and Goliath as a backdrop, we lead you through five specific prayers to activate your Five Spiritual Senses.
