Understanding Spiritual Gifts: The Gift of the Word of Knowledge… In Under 10 Minutes
WELCOME to Issue #200 of The Seedhead from Alex and Hannah at Dandelion Resourcing - a weekly confidence booster to help you step into naturally supernatural discipleship and mission!
The spiritual gift of a word of knowledge is information given to you by the Holy Spirit about a person or situation that could not be known by natural means.
Can you think of an example of this gift from the Bible?
The one that came to our minds is from John 1:47-50 and the calling of Nathaniel. It’s a clear example of a word of knowledge opening up someone’s heart to more of God’s presence and the desire to pursue Him with greater intentionality.
In this video we’ll give you a clear and concise overview of this gift.
One of the things we’ve noticed down the years is how an accurate word of knowledge can open up people - both lost and saved - to other gifts of the Spirit. Think of it like a simple wedge, that gains and holds an opening for the Kingdom to advance.
Here’s the video:
Next Steps
Choose to pause to listen to the Spirit. If you don’t sense Him saying anything that’s no problem, just keep dialing in from time to time. It will often start small (a gut feeling that you can easily dismiss).
Try doing this at church gatherings (Sunday and midweek), as well as when 1-1 with another believer.
As you become more confident, this then becomes a way to access God’s help when interacting with lost friends, neighbors, and colleagues, especially when they’re sharing about their lives (“Lord, is there something hidden about this situation that would be helpful and loving to uncover?”).
Be obedient whenever you feel any little nudge - the heart of a disciple is to hear and obey! If you’re obedient in the little things, God will trust you with bigger things.
