9
:All right, let's get to it.
10
:The spiritual gift of Word of Knowledge as described in 1 Corinthians 12 is one of the
nine gifts of the Holy Spirit given to believers for the edification and growth of the
11
:Church.
12
:This particular gift is unique in its ability to reveal specific insights or information
that could not be known by natural means but is supernaturally provided by the Holy
13
:Spirit.
14
:In 1 Corinthians 12 verse 8 the Apostle Paul writes,
15
:To one there is given through the spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of
knowledge by means of the same spirit.
16
:The phrase words of knowledge or message of knowledge depends on the translation and it
refers to supernatural revelation of information regarding a person, situation or event
17
:that the recipient would have no prior knowledge of.
18
:The gift is often used to provide insight into a problem, encourage someone, or give
guidance in situations where natural knowledge falls short.
19
:can be seen as God sharing a piece of his omniscience with a believer to accomplish his
purpose.
20
:Once again, word of knowledge is specific insights or information that could not be
naturally known, but is supernaturally provided by the Holy Spirit.
21
:Throughout the Bible, there are several examples that illustrate the operation of the word
of knowledge.
22
:One of the most prominent examples is found in the life of Jesus when he encountered the
Samaritan woman at the well in John 416.
23
:Jesus revealed details about her life that he could not have known naturally, which led
her not only to believe in him as the Messiah,
24
:but she would then go into the town revealing the Christ has come and the whole place got
saved hallelujah or there was that time in Acts 5 where Peter through a word of knowledge
25
:knew that Ananias and Sapphira had lied about the sale of their property which brought to
light their deceit for the entire church and ultimately their demise
26
:The primary purpose of the gift of words of knowledge is to bring glory to God and to
build up the body of Christ.
27
:This gift can encourage and strengthen.
28
:A word of knowledge can confirm something God has already spoken to someone, bringing
encouragement and strength to their faith.
29
:This is one of my favorite phrases.
30
:Encouragement is nourishment and this is something that we should all be practicing.
31
:This gift can also guide and direct.
32
:It can provide specific guidance in decisions or actions, helping believers navigate
complex situations with divine insight.
33
:A lot of times along with knowledge will come a word of wisdom or an impression to help
guide and direct a believer.
34
:You can think of wisdom as directive and knowledge as informative.
35
:Word of knowledge can also bring conviction.
36
:Like in the case of Ananias and Sapphira, this gift exposes sin or deceit, bringing
individuals to repentance in alignment with God's will.
37
:Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 14, but if all prophesy and an unbeliever or an ungifted man
enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, and the secrets of his
38
:heart are disclosed.
39
:And so he will fall on his face and worship God declaring that God is certainly among you.
40
:a powerful gift.
41
:And this gift can also heal and restore.
42
:Words of knowledge can also reveal physical, emotional, or spiritual needs leading to
healing and restoration when addressed in prayer.
43
:have an amazing testimony of a woman this happened to.
44
:My wife and I, as well as two of our closest friends have a nonprofit.
45
:and part of what we do is put on revival events to demonstrate the power of God and
encourage believers that they are made for more.
46
:There was a time of prayer specifically for those battling addiction and a woman came up
to receive prayer and freedom.
47
:As some of the other women were praying for her, I received a word of knowledge.
48
:I saw the number it was either 37 or 47.
49
:a skull and crossbones in a car squiggling with a tire mark track.
50
:I approached her and shared that the Lord gave me something to reveal and I prayed over
her.
51
:I said at the age 37 or 47 and she quickly said 37, which built my faith because I knew I
was hearing correctly.
52
:So I continued at the age of 37, the spirit of death entered your life.
53
:I see a car sliding out of control.
54
:and instantly she hit the floor saying, I can't believe it.
55
:I can't believe it.
56
:I was so shocked by the situation and I was like, girl, you need to testify as to what all
of this means.
57
:So she went on to testify that at age 37, she was in a car accident and she rolled up her
sleeve to show us this big scar.
58
:And mind you, this woman is 60 plus years old and
59
:the rest of the word of knowledge came out and I proceeded to tell her that from that
moment she couldn't laugh anymore, couldn't sleep anymore, she had been depressed and even
60
:if there was a moment of joy, it was only for five seconds and then the real world came
crashing down on her.
61
:She was just in disbelief and confirmed all that God was speaking.
62
:I then commanded the spirit of death to leave and for the Holy Spirit to come and fill
her.
63
:She was jumping up and down with joy, completely energized and completely set free from
demonic influence.
64
:For 30 years, this woman couldn't experience joy and in one moment, one moment with Jesus,
she is forever changed.
65
:Like all spiritual gifts, the word of knowledge is to be exercised with humility and love
and discernment.
66
:It is important to remember that this gift is given by the Holy Spirit and should always
point back to Jesus, the source of all wisdom and knowledge.
67
:Believers are encouraged to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance in using this gift, ensuring
that it aligns with the biblical truth and is used to build others up in love.
68
:So in conclusion, before I activate you in this gift, the gift of Word of Knowledge is a
powerful tool in the life of a believer in the church, providing
69
:supernatural insight that can lead to transformative healing, deeper understanding of
God's will and just a transformation in one's life.
70
:As with all spiritual gifts, it is to be earnestly sought and used responsible, always for
the glory of God and the benefit of His people.
71
:We know that the assignment is always other people, that it's not about us, but it's about
them.
72
:So I want to pray for you to activate you in the word of knowledge.
73
:So Father, as you have freely given me, I freely give to them, Lord Jesus.
74
:I just pray right now as they sit there with open hands, open your hands, guys, as if
you're going to receive a gift.
75
:Father, I just pray that the word of knowledge gifting would fall upon them, that Holy
Spirit, that you would just spark it and activate it in them right now in the mighty name
76
:of Jesus.
77
:Father, I thank you for not only giving them the word of
78
:knowledge but the word of wisdom as well God.
