Words Of Knowledge
This generation is dying to be known, seen, and affirmed. Whether they believe it or not, they are truly longing for an encounter with God! That’s why I wrote Words of Knowledge: Training Manual. I believe word of knowledge is such a powerful love gift of the Holy Spirit to reach the lost and broken in our world. Through words of knowledge, people come into contact with a radical, loving God who sees them and knows every detail of their lives.
I have seen countless people feel known and loved through the gift of word of knowledge. As people experience the reality of a God who knew them before they were born, knows all the hairs on their head, and has more thoughts about them than all the grains of sand, they are forever changed.
I’m not an expert at words of knowledge by any means, but the Holy Spirit is really good at it. I am just one who has taken a lot of risk and action with the Holy Spirit, and I was willing to fail. And trust me, I have failed a lot. I have been experimenting with words of knowledge for about eight years. Through trial and error and from others who have gone before me, I have learned the things in this training manual.
My desire is to equip you in this wonderful gift. My intention isn’t to give you formulas and models, but to introduce you to the Spirit of Knowledge. You will discover the many ways He communicates, and you will be activated into walking in words of knowledge like never before.
What Is a Word of Knowledge?
A word of knowledge is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11: “For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit.”
Some people confuse a word of knowledge with a prophetic word or a word of wisdom. It is actually an individual gift among the nine that has its own unique purpose.
With a word of knowledge, we can receive facts and knowledge about people and their lives, usually a specific detail about their past or present, about locations, or about random things such as times and dates. But it isn’t limited to these. With a word of knowledge, you receive a supernatural download of information and facts about a person, place, or thing. A word of knowledge is simply receiving knowledge from God. We don’t find this knowledge or information from our five senses or understanding, but we receive it supernaturally from the Holy Spirit.
Who Can Receive a Word of Knowledge?
The gift of word of knowledge is for every believer. “There are varieties of gifts…But it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. (1 Corinthians 12)” All believers can function in every gift of the Spirit when the Holy Spirit is in them and upon them.
