Words of Knowledge and Words of Wisdom: 101
"To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit." (1 Corinthians 12:8)
God loves to share with us how He sees things. Sometimes this might be by sharing knowledge to which we wouldn’t otherwise have access, and other times it can be by giving us supernatural wisdom for discernment and decision making.
