Faith is the "eye" of the spirit. Just as your eyes see the physical world, your faith perceives the spiritual world.
Kenyon refers to this as knowledge acquired through the five senses: sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell. This is empirical data. It is the knowledge that says, "I have a fever," or "The economy is failing."

The concept of two kinds of knowledge has significant implications for Christian life and ministry. Firstly, it highlights the importance of seeking spiritual knowledge through prayer, meditation, and a personal relationship with God. Believers must recognize the limitations of natural knowledge and seek divine revelation to deepen their understanding of spiritual truths. Secondly, it emphasizes the need for spiritual discernment in evaluating information and experiences. Believers must learn to distinguish between natural and spiritual knowledge, lest they become confused or misled.
