GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT...WORD OF WISDOM 1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. The Greek logos sophia () translates to “word of wisdom” This is a revelatory gift and is not the same as the wisdom one gets as we grow maturiture in the Lord. It is a supernatural imparting of wisdom to the a christian by the Holy Spirit. A spontaneous manifestation of a supernatural insight or perspective to the mind or spirit of the Christian. The Gift of the word of wisdom also enables one to express the Holy Spirit's revelation knowledge to either an individual or to a group of people, or in the church that surpasses any natural ability. Scriptural examples The people who heard Stephen speak were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke. Acts 6:10 Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. The Apostle Paul in dealing with the spirit of divination in a woman in Acts 16:16-18 Paul did not rush in straightaway and deliver the girl. He waited many days before confronting it. That was the word of wisdom. This example does not mean that a similar case would necessarily be handled the same way. The Apostle Peter in dealing with Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-16 Peter used the word of wisdom to make sure that both Ananias and Sapphira exposed their sin and then suffered the consequences of their own actions. He did not accuse Sapphira on the confession of her husband alone, but wisely heard from her as well. Solomon passing a judgment in 1 Kings 3:16-28. A Old Testament example is that of Solomon passing judgment on the women who were arguing over their two . One was dead and one alive. Both women were claiming that the remaining live was their's and the dead was the other's. Solomon called for a sword to divide the remaining live in two, so the women could have half each. When Solomon made that decision known, the true mother of the living cried out to give her to the other woman in order to save its life. Solomon then knew who the real mother was. This judgment from Solomon caused all Israel to see that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.  Isaiah 42:8 " I am the Lord; that is my name! And My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images." |

heartforedjehu Often the gifts work in conjunction with each other. Isaiah 42:8 " I am the Lord; that is my name! And My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images."

CaringInAction I have been dear friend, a Christian for almost 15 years ( got saved at 23) I am Spirit filled and operate in the gifts of the Spirit. I do teach on different things but there is so much heresy in the church right now though that it seems to be my focus at this point. I know that I cannot convince anyone but the Lord uses me to tear down high and lofty arguments that exalt themselves against the word of God. Many people just do not understand my ministry is all. Those given ears to hear will hear and that is what I rejoice in. Isaiah 42:8 " I am the Lord; that is my name! And My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images."
