SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (2): THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
… to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit?
I Corinthians 12:8 (KJV)
We are encouraged to desire earnestly the best gifts (see I Corinthians 12:31). However, it is also important that we understand that these gifts are in manifestation according to the will of the Holy Spirit. So, you cannot force the manifestation of any of them. The one that you may want to manifest may not be the will of the Spirit for you. He sees the heart and knows the motive why you are asking for a particular gift and if that motive does not glorify the Lord Yahushua, He may never allow that gift to flow through you. Just remain in the Spirit, wholly committed to Him and as He deems fit, the manifestations of the gifts will come. Today, let us look at the gift of the Word of Knowledge. Just as we said yesterday, it is the gift of the Word of Knowledge and not the gift of Knowledge. There is a difference. In fact, there is no such thing as the spiritual gift of knowledge. There is however, a spiritual gift called the Word of Knowledge. The word of knowledge is the supernatural revelation by the Holy Ghost of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh. Yahweh is all-knowing. He knows everything. But He doesn’t reveal everything He knows to man. He just gives him a word or a part of what He knows. A word is a fragmentary part of a sentence, so a word of knowledge would simply be a fragmentary part of the entire knowledge or counsel of Yahweh. Yahweh is all-knowing. He has all knowledge. But He doesn’t impart all of His knowledge to us; He imparts a word of knowledge to us — just what He wants us to know at a given time.
The gift of the Word of Knowledge is a supernatural manifestation as are all of these gifts of the Spirit. The gift of the Word of Knowledge is not natural knowledge but is supernatural knowledge. It is supernatural revelation of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh. It is the Father bringing to your knowledge the things that has happened or that is happening in order to help you take certain actions. The Word of Knowledge is not a profound knowledge of the Bible. It is certainly true that Yahweh will help us understand His Word, but that is not a supernatural gift. A profound knowledge of the Bible comes by studying, but the Word of knowledge comes by a supernatural revelation. The Word of Knowledge is not knowledge of Yahweh gained through close communion with Him. One does gain a real knowledge of Yahweh walking with Him, but that is different from a supernatural impartation of the knowledge of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh.
Your duty in these spiritual gifts is to remain spiritual and in the Bible. If you are close enough and your motives are pure, the Holy Spirit can deem it fit to manifest the Word of Knowledge through you to the glory of the Lord Yahushua. Desire them but leave the manifestation to the Holy Spirit. Selah!
REMEMBER: The Word of Knowledge is the Lord giving you the knowledge of past event or current happening to help you take certain actions.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to maintain connection always with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive according to His will at anytime in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see your access into this spiritual gifts opened now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
