His Word. The word of Knowledge is a sure conviction, impression, or
knowing that comes to you in a similitude, a dream, a vision, or
by a Scripture that quickens you. Supernatural insight or
understanding of circumstances, situations, problems, or a body of facts
by revelation; without any human resource, solely

or
state
of
knowing;
the

certainty and opinion. We assume.....God Knows. The gift of the word of
knowledge is found in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. See I Samuel 9and Acts 9. God's purpose of this
gift is to help one look into the heart, mind, or nature of a man and to
know his intentions, and secrets. This gift is used to find lost
souls.
