Word of Knowledge

This is another one of the manifestations of the holy spirit.     Word of Knowledge  is a definite conviction, impression, or knowing that comes to you in a similitude (a mental picture), a dream, through a vision, or by a Scripture that is quickened to you.    The manifestation of the word of knowledge is the transcendental revelation of the divine will and plan of God. I have experienced this once or twice during my lifetime and I can tell you for sure that this is not something that you will soon forget! I was hardly into the Word when this happened the first time and it does make one trust in God very much when you are new to this sort of thing! It is a revelation of knowledge that man could not know of himself. It is knowledge only known to God and thereafter revealed to us through a gift of the Holy Spirit."    "Pentecostal Doctrine" by  W.R. Jones 1. DEFINITION - The spiritual gift of the WORD OF KNOWLEDGE is the bestowal of certain facts from the mind of God which He sees fit to reveal to one of His servants supernaturally by His Spirit. It is only a word, or a portion of God's endless storehouse of knowledge. 2. METHODS - God speaks in divers manners, such as dreams, visions, revelation, or sometimes even in an audible voice. It is always conveyed supernaturally as is any other spiritual gift. 3. ABILITIES - This gift can tell the whereabouts, conditions, nature, or thoughts of a person, animal, place, or thing even when it is impossible to learn it in the natural. 4. PURPOSES - It helps one to look into the heart, mind, or nature of a man and to know his secrets and intentions. It has helped find lost articles, as in 2 Kings 6, but its main purpose is to help find lost souls as in the book of Acts.
