Words of Knowledge

MINISTRY TRAINING • REQUIRED FOR EVANGELISM TEAM MEMBERS The Holy Spirit knows the person standing in front of you completely—and sometimes He chooses to reveal something about that person that creates an opportunity for them to encounter the love and power of God. In this training, we explore the spiritual gift of a word of knowledge and how it can be used in evangelism. You'll learn the biblical foundation for the gift, different ways a word of knowledge may be received, how to discern what you're sensing, and how to step out in faith with humility and wisdom. The goal is never to impress someone or prove that we can hear God. The goal is always to point people toward Jesus.
