• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Richard K. I'm Chuck Christie, and today we are asking
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you to spend a few moments of your time with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: us each day as Richard shares from God's work with notes, quotes,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and story along with some of his own personal experiences,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to confirm for you God's great love for us, that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: his compassion for us never fails, and that He has
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a great faithfulness toward us in every regard. Now, if
• 1:11

• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to recommend it to a friend, you can hear this
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: program anytime online at Talknetwork Radio dot com. Well, now
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: here's Richard with today's Reflection.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: To another is given the Word of Knowledge through the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: same spirit we discussed in the Nine Gifts of the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, the application of the Word of Knowledge. We
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: gave an example, actually one that I had experienced, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sure perhaps many of you have had similar examples
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of this particular gift manifesting in your own life. Sometimes
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: this gift is operating and we don't realize it. At
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the same time, there are points when we do realize it,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: as was explained in the situation where I was given
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the gift of the Word of knowledge to impart to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: me that an individual was having a pain in their
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: chest at that specific moment, and that caused the individual
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to turn around and come back and ask how did
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I know that that was taking place? Is a result
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of that particular manifestation which I had no control over,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit chose to use me as just a
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: willing vessel to bring this other individual to a saving
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. What is the gift
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of the Word of my life knowledge? Why is it
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: that it has such an important function as all the gifts?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Do we know that this gift is one that gives
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: us knowledge where we are actually not able in our
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: own limited and imperfect state to be able to receive
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: by learning this is supernatural knowledge, and it means that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: we receive these words of knowledge from the Lord in
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: many cases on a very regular and frequent basis, in
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: order just to go through our life safely. Sometimes they're
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: warnings and other times they are just a means of feeling. Now,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I don't want to put a great deal of emphasis
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: on feeling, but also don't want to dismiss it because
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: there are certain things that we could feel that would
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: not be of a natural means. So how does the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit manifest this specific gift. One of the things
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that we can learn from the Holy Spirit is that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he will manifest the gift a lot more than we
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: might realize, but we actually can become better taught to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: understand how he can use this gift in the first place.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: You see, the Word of Knowledge is simply the Holy
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Spirit transmitting to us his specific knowledge on something or
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: someone that you would really have no natural ability or
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: means to know other than with his revealing it. There's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: no knowledge or intelligence that we could learn that would
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: replace the gift of the Word of knowledge. It is
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: supernatural knowledge and insight. It's being given directly to us
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: by the Holy Spirit himself. This doesn't come by our
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: own mind, our own intellect, or anything that we might
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: have learned. There are words of knowledge that you can
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: receive direct from the Holy Spirit that can literally cover
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: many types of things in our daily life. They can
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: cover anything from something as trivial as where you might
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: have misplaced something, or it could give you life saving
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: knowledge on how to solve and impending crisis or an emergency.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Here are just a few examples of where we can
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: receive a direct word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and it can cover anything and everything in our lives.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: For students, it could be how to solve a particular
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: math problem at school, where they've sorted it out, tried
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to do things to reason it, and the Holy Spirit
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: gives them the solution. How do you solve a specific
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: problem at perhaps your place of employment. We already talked
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: about misplacing something and not being able to find it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: There's also knowledge on what certain scripture versus may mean
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and how it can apply to our own personal life.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: How can we properly witness to an unsaved family member,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: How to solve a marital dispute or a family problem?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Are the new business where to look for that next
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: new job if you've just been laid off, Who does
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: God want you to spend your life with, to marry
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and to share life with. How to counsel someone who
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: has really experienced an impending tragedy which has hit them
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: in a very full, forceful manner. What your specific calling
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: in the Lord is going to be in this life
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: very important and the word of knowledge that God wants
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to heal someone of a specific illness. As was demonstrated
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: in the example that I gave, where I knew that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: this individual was experiencing pain, God healed him, saved him,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and brought him into a position where he is preaching
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the Gospel because of a transformed life. As we can
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: see from these examples, there are literally nothing that the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit cannot get involved in our own personal life
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: where he can give us a word of knowledge on
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: how to properly navigate or handle something that we're currently
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: dealing with, or give us a word of knowledge to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: help someone else out with whatever may be their particular
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: issue in life. With our own knowledge levels being very
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: limited and imperfect so incomplete, we all need the gift
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of the Word of knowledge from the Lord on some
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: kind of regular basis in this light, so that we
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: can make it through this light and in not only
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: one piece, and get to where we need to go
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: in our divine destinies with him. How exactly does the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit transmit an actual word of knowledge to us?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: One way that he will communicate a word of knowledge
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to us is through what is called the inner knowing.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that the Holy Spirit will bear witness
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: with our human spirits. This inner witness is what is
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: called the inner knowing. All of a sudden we will
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: receive a without a doubt type of knowing on the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: knowledge that he's trying to transmit to us, and it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: can come in the form of a thought or an
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: impression on our mind. Sometimes it can even be in
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the form of a vision or a picture that shows
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: up in our mind's eyes.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Richard will be right back in a moment to wrap up.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: But if you just joined us you've been listening to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Reflections on the Word with Richard Ka. You can hear
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: this message in its entirety again online as well as
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Richard's entire archive at Talknetwork Radio dot com. We would
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: like to acknowledge our theme song, how Great Is Thy
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Faithfulness from the America's twenty five Favorite Hymns album unless otherwise.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Express scriptures are read from the Holman Christian Standard Bible,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: which is published by Homann Bible Publishers in Nashville, Tennessee.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Additional resources used for Reflections on the Word with Richard
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: k include Great Is Thy Faithfulness by Our Daily Bread
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and printed by Discovery House Publishers. Again, here is Richard
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to wrap up today's message.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: We found from personal experience that the Holy Spirit wants
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to communicate knowledge through visions, pictures, as well as impressions.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: That he gives what we experience in so many ways
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: can help others as well as ourselves. Think of the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: ramifications and the possibilities with just this one special gift alone,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: that the Holy Spirit himself can transmit his own divine
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: knowledge to us on something that we cannot solve or
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: figure out on our own. This is why this particular
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: gift is so important and so needed in this day
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and age, as most of us are always facing some
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: kind of roadblock or obstacle on a regular basis in
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: our daily lives. As such, we all need the knowledge
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: of God flowing through us so we can make it
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: through all of these obstacles and then get to where
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: we need to go with the Lord and fully accomplish
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: everything that He wants for us to do for him
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: in this life. That is why the Bible tells us
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that without knowledge we can perish and go into captivity
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: in this life, and sometimes only the supernatural knowledge of
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: God can help keep us out of harm's way in
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: this light, since our own knowledge and intelligent levels are
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: so imperfect and so limited and that is today's Reflection
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: on the work.
• 12:38
