We’ve been *looking at the Gifts of the HS* for the *last 2 or 3 weeks*.
*Today* we’re going to be *looking at a* */different category/* *of gifts*.
*I.
*For the *last few weeks* we were *on* the */Inspirational Gifts/*, the *gifts* that *say something*, and those are “*/Tongues/* that are *to be Interpreted*,” the “*/Interpretation of Tongues/*,” and “*/Prophecy/*.”
*A.
*There are */3 different categories/* of gifts and they are, “*/The Gifts of Inspiration/*,” The “*/Gifts of Revelation/*,” and the “*/Power Gifts/*.”
*1.
Today* we’re going to *start on* the “*/Revelation Gifts/*.”
*a.
*The */Revelation Gifts reveal/* *something* *by the Spirit of God*.
*b.
*The */Revelation Gifts/* are “*/The Word of Knowledge/*,” “*/The Word of Wisdom/*,” and “*/Discerning of Spirits/*.”
*B.
*Today we’re going to look at */The Word of Knowledge/*.
*1.
*Look at */1COR 12:8/*.
*2.
*There is *1 important fact* *about* *this Gift of the Spirit* that I want you to see.
*a.
*It’s called “*/The Word of Knowledge/*” */not/* “*/The Gift of Knowledge/*.”
*i.
*There is *no such thing as* a “*Gift of Knowledge*.”
*b.
*A *gift of knowledge* *would imply* that there someone has *received* a *great deal* *of knowledge* by a gift.
*i.
*The Bible says in (*/2TIM 2:15/*) *to study to show yourself approved*.
*ii.
Yes*, it is *true* that the *H.S.* will *show you things* *to come* and He will *reveal things to you*, *but he also wants you to put His Word on the inside* of you so He can *bring it back to your remembrance*.
*c.
This Gift is called* a “*Word of knowledge*.”
*i.
God* *is all knowing*, He has all knowledge, He knows everything.
*ii.
*But He *doesn’t reveal* to us *everything*.
* d.
He gives* to us *a word* or *part* of *what he knows*.
*i.
*God gives to us a *fragmentary part* of what He knows.
*ii.
He imparts a Word of Knowledge* to us -- *just what He wants us to know*.
*II.
*This */gift/* is also a */supernatural manifestation/* *of the Spirit of God*.
*A.
*There is *nothing natural about it*.
*1.
A Word of Knowledge does not come from something that you know in the natural*.
*a.
It is something that is from the Spirit of God*.
*2.
*Let’s look at an *example from the Word* of God.
(That’s the *best way* to *explain* or define words.)
*a.
John* *received* a *Word of Knowledge* *through* a *Vision*.
*b.
**/REV 1:10‑11/*
*i.
*In the *next several Vs* John* received knowledge* *of* the *condition* of the *7 churches* in Asia Minor.
*ii.
John had no other way to know* *this*.
He was already exile to the isle of Patmos.
*B.
*Let’s look at *another example*.
*1.
**/ACTS 9:10‑12/*
*2.
*Here we have another */Word of Knowledge/* that was */manifest/* */through a vision/*, But this time it *came through a layman*.
*a.
Ananias* was *not* an *Apostle*, he was not a *prophet*, he was not an *Evangelist*, he was not a *Pastor*.
The Bible doesn’t even call him a *teacher*.
*b.
*The Bible does call him a “*/Disciple/*.”
*i.
*The word “*/Disciple/*” *means* a “*/learner/*, */or a pupil/*.”
*ii.
We all are* *to be a* *learner*, a *pupil* or a *follower* *of* *the Lord*.
*3.
*There is *also* the *scripture* *in* the book of */ACTS/* that *talks* *about Peter* when he was *on* *the roof top praying*.
*a.
Peter* had a */Word of Knowledge/* which */came in a vision/*, that told him that *3 men are seeking him* and for Peter to go with them.
(*/ACTS 10:9‑20/*)
*III.
*There is also the */Word of knowledge/* that */comes through an inward revelation/*.
*A.
*If you remember when *Jesus dealt with the Samaritan woman at the well*, He *used the Word of Knowledge* *to convince a sinner there need for a savior*.
(Starting in */JOHN 4:7/*)
*1.
*A */Word of Knowledge/* can */come through a number of ways/*.
It can come */through/* a */vision/*, or it can come through the */interpretation of tongues/*, it even might come through */an angel/*, it can come */through prophecy/*.
*a.
*“No*/w, wait a minute, I thought you said that Prophecy is for edification, and exhortation, and comfort/*.”
It is.
*b.
*But, *if* the *only way* you feel that *you can give a Word of knowledge is through a prophecy*, *let it come* in that form.
*2.
*But a *Word of Knowledge* *doesn’t come* *because* you’ve been *walking* *with God a long time*.
*a.
*In (*/1SAM 3:4‑10/*) *Samuel* was just a boy at that time and the Lord called out his name but Samuel thought it was *Eli*, the prophet calling him.
When he came to Eli, Eli sent him back to bed.
This happened a number of times.
*b.
*It was the Lord that was talking to him, but *Eli* who had been *walking with God a long time* *didn’t hear anything*.
*i.
*Just because someone has been walking with God a long time doesn’t mean that God is going to use them in the Word of Knowledge today.
*God may have someone else* that He wants to use.
*ii.
Any one* that has the Spirit of God *can expect* *to be used in* *the Gift of a Word of Knowledge*.
*iii.
*Those that are */more/* */mature/* in the Lord should be */more sensitive/* *to his leadings*.
But it *doesn’t mean* that *they will be used and the new Christians will not*.
