Which statement best describes the gift of the Word of Knowledge?

• A. A knowledge supernaturally imparted by the Holy Spirit about a person or situation
• B. A natural talent for teaching
• C. A dream-based message
• D. A form of physical healing

Answer: (A)

The gift of the Word of Knowledge is a supernatural revelation from the Holy Spirit about facts concerning a person or situation that could not be known by natural means. This knowledge is given in the moment to edify, encourage, or guide in a specific circumstance. It’s not a natural teaching talent, not something learned through study, nor a dream-based message; it’s an immediate impartation of factual knowledge. It is also distinct from healing, which is a separate gift.
