We've been looking at t *ministry of t H.S. for t past few weeks & *in t *last 2 or 3 weeks *we've been on t *Gifts of t Spirit.*
*Today* we're going to look at *T Word of Knowledge.*
Turn W~/ me to *1COR 12:8.*
Not only are we going to a *different gift* today it is *also* in a *different category.
*
*I.*
We already said that t *3 categories are, *T *Gifts of Inspiration*, T *Gifts of Revelation,* & t *Power Gifts.*
*A.*
We *already looked* at t *Inspirational gifts,* which are *Tongues *that are to be interpreted, t *interpretation of tongues, & Prophecy.
*
*B.*
*Today* I'm going to *start* on t *Revelation gifts.*
*1.
*T *1st* one that I want to deal w~/ is *T Word of knowledge*.
*2.*
There is *1 important fact* about that I want to make about this Gift of t Spirit.
*a.
*It's *called "T Word of Knowledge" not* *"T 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.*
T *Bible says* to *study to show yourself approved.*
*ii.
Yes* it is true that t *H.S.* *will show you things to come & He will reveal things *to you, *but he wants you to put it in so *that *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 t Spirit of God.
*A.*
There is *nothing natural about it.*
*1.*
A *Word* of *Knowledge does not come from something* that *you know in t natural.*
*a.*
It is *something* that is *from t Spirit of God.*
*2.*
Let's look at an *example *from t Word of God.
(That's t best way to explain or define words.)
*a*.
*John* *received* a *Word of Knowledge* *thru a Vision.
*
*b.*
*REV 1:10‑11*
*i.*
In t *next several Vs* *John received knowledge of t condition of t 7 churches in Asia Minor.
*
*ii.*
John had *no other way to know this.*
He was already exile to t 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 *thru a vision,* But this time it *came thru a layman.
*
*a.*
*Ananias* was *not *an *Apostle*, he was *not *a *prophet*, he was *not an Evangelist*, he was *not a Pastor.*
T *Bible does'nt* even *call* him *a teacher.
*
*b.*
T *Bible* does *call him* a *"Disciple."*
*i.*
T word *"Disciple"* *means* a *"learner, or a pupil."*
ii.
We *all* are *to be* a *learner, a pupil or a follower of t Lord.
*
*3.*
There is also t *scripture in t book of ACTS* that talks about *Pete*r when he was on t *roof top praying.
*
*a.*
*Peter* *had* a *Word of Knowledge* which *came in a vision*, that *told him that 3 men are seeking him* *& *for Peter to *go w~/ them.
(ACTS 10:9‑20)*
*III.
*There is *also* t *Word of knowledge* that comes *thru an inward revelation.
*
*A.*
If you remember when *Jesus dealt w~/ t woman at t well*, He used t Word of Knowledge to convince a sinner there need for a savior.
*(JOH 4)*
*1.*
A *Word of Knowledge can come thru a number of ways.*
It can come thru t *interpretation of tongues,* it can come thru *prophecy,* it even might come thru *an angel.
*
*2.*
But a *Word of Knowledge* *doesn't* *come because* you've been *walking w~/ God a long time.*
*a.*
In *(1SAM 3:4‑10)* *Samuel* was just *a boy* at that time & t *Lord called out his name *but *Samuel thought it was Eli*, t prophet calling him.
When he came to Eli, *Eli sent him back to bed*.
This happened a number of times.
*b.*
It was t *Lord* that was *talking to him,* *but Eli *who had been walking w~/ God a long time *didn't hear anything.*
*i.*
*Just because *they been *walking w~/ God* *doesn't mean* that they are *used* in t Word of Knowledge.
*ii.* *Any one* that has t Spirit of God *can expect to be used *in t Gift of a Word of Knowledge.
*iii.*
Those that are *more mature* in t Lord *should be more sensitive* to his *leadings.*
But it *doesn't mean *that *they will be used &* t *new Christians will not.
*
*B.*
Let's *look at* some *more examples *of t *Word of knodledge.*
*1KI*
*1.*
In *1KINGS 19* we see *Elijah*, let's start w~/ *V. 4, 14, 18.*
*a.*
Here *Elijah thought* that *he was *t *only 1 left *that was *still serving God.
*
*b.*
But *God gave him a Word of Knowledge* that *there was still 7,000* that did not bow down to Baal.
*2.* *2KINGS 5:25‑26*
*a.
Naaman* was *healed & wanted to give Elisha* some *money & other things.*
