The word of knowledge is often defined as the ability of one person to know
what God is currently doing or intends to do in the life of another person. It can also be
defined as knowing the secrets of another person's heart. Through this revelation, it is
believed that God encourages the faith of the believer to receive the healing or comfort
that God offers.
In Christian Religion, those with knowledge are able to collect, remember, and
access information. They’re able to extract the meaning out of information. They “see
through” the facts to the dynamics of what, how, and why. Understanding is a lens which
brings the facts into crisp focus and produces principles. And those with wisdom know
which principle to apply in a given context. They know what actions to take next. They
do the right thing in the given situation. In contrast, there are many who have great
knowledge and understanding but who consistently do the wrong thing. Wisdom is the
right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are
all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know
how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
It is clear that Christians are to study God’s word to learn his revealed knowledge
