The spiritual gift of the word of knowledge is a unique and powerful ability given by the Holy Spirit. It's not about being naturally smart or having a lot of Bible knowledge, but a divine impartation of specific facts about a person or situation that you could not have known on your own. This supernatural insight, often received through a thought, vision, or feeling, is meant to encourage faith, expose the enemy, and build up the church. It's a small slice of God's omniscience revealed for a specific purpose, demonstrating His intimate awareness of our lives.
