“Word of knowledge,” as in I (eg. Pat Robinson from the 700 Club) have received a word of knowledge, “there is someone out there who has a brain tumor.”" refers to a devine revelation; God just gave me a revelation about something, eg. At least that is what the “televangelists” mean.
I’ve heard of it from Catholic people. I suppose it would be a Charasmatic gift, altho’ I have never read about it in the gifts of the spirit. I know it’s purpose is to help someone. well, answer the question as tho’ it were quite personal to yourself. For instance what if someone would repeat something you though;and say this would happen for an extended period of time, so you suspected “word of knowlege” being given to another. In that context, how would you explain what it is for?
I hope Im being clear. Jillisamarie
I would like to offer this forum to you. Here is a particular discussion on revelatory gifts of knowledge, wisdom and discernment. Hope this helps as it is from a Catholic standpoint with many referneces.
