Gifts of the Holy Spirit include Words of Revelation

 Gifts of the Holy Spirit include Words of Revelation

Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge and Discerning of Spirits are 3 Supernatural “Knowing” Gifts by revelation.

We must understand the Holy Spirit Gifts are not natural, they are supernatural coming down from heaven for the needed moment in time.

James tells us about Natural wisdom: If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives liberally to those who ask Him. “the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” 

Realize that these natural unctions are NOT the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians, but they are God-glorifying natural wisdom, natural understanding and natural discernment, obtained by study and listening to the Holy Spirit and built up in your soul and spirit.

Proverbs chapter two tells us about natural wisdom, understanding and discernment.

Proverbs 2: 1-12 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, 4 if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom;  from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you, delivering you from the way of evil, from persons of perverted speech

Supernatural Word of Wisdom

The spiritual gift of Word of Wisdom, is the supernatural dropping into the heart of the person, by the Holy Spirit, an “utterance of wisdom” to solve a problem, give answers, bring direction and assist in preventing a disaster by revealing solutions.

The person with the gift of Word of Wisdom can easily recognize where a decision or action may lead and can warn against those that may be harmful or unfruitful. They can often see through the confusion of a situation and can give direction that would help an individual or group obtain a God-glorifying goal.

The Spiritual Gift of Word of Knowledge –

Also a speaking gift that involves insight that only comes by revelation from the heart of God. This gift often includes a vision of seeing a situation that is going on or was previously happening, so that there may be a confrontation – one on one; or later as God reveals the time to act, or to simply pray about it.

Just because God tells you a supernatural secret about someone it is important that you keep it to yourself and not gossip to your close prayer partners. If it is to be told, God will let you know - when.

Discerning of Spirits is another “knowing” gift – it is Supernaturally to see visibly into the Spirit world both angels and demons. Angels are protectors and helpers, and demons can be told to leave using the Name of Jesus and the power in His blood.
