    Gifts of the Spirit: Words of Knowledge & Prophecy (Melanie Watson)

    Summary We conclude the series on the Gifts of the Spirit by exploring words of knowledge and prophecy. These two gifts are powerful ways the Holy Spirit reveals truth and speaks directly into lives. Through biblical examples—like Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well—and practical teaching, we discover how these gifts bring clarity, encounter, edification, exhortation, and comfort. We also examine how to discern authentic prophetic words from counterfeit uses, and why purity in these gifts is vital for the church today. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how God uses these gifts to build strong believers, restore direction, and revive hope. Key Takeaways Words of knowledge provide clarity about the truth when the facts are not easily available.God sees every detail of your life and still chooses to come to you, speak to you, and rescue you.Prophecy is a specific message from God for individuals or situations.Prophecy is the revelation of what God IS saying, but what He IS saying will always align with what He HAS SAID in Scripture.The purpose of prophecy is: edification, exhortation,and comfort.Edification builds a strong church and mature believers.Exhortation appeals for our restoration.Comfort elevates our hope to God rather than our circumstances.Counterfeit prophecy often elevates self, manipulates others, or contradicts Scripture.The church today needs pure prophetic voices to build mature believers, restore the paths of righteousness, and revive hope in God.
