Greetings From True Grace Tabernacle

Well, we have expanded our social networking from just Facebook and Youtube, although those sites are very productive and influential. Our welcome video is now on Vimeo and MySpace. Flickr is another site that we will catch up to later. Anyway, I haven't uploaded anymore info about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit because we've been busy getting things together at the church, setting up equipment, moving furniture, cleaning, and all that type of good stuff. So in the meantime and in between time, I'd like to invite you all to Friend and Follow us on these networking engines, Facebook, Youtube, Vimeo, and MySpace. My husband is Frank Ford and I am Tamika Ford on Facebook, Youtube, and MySpace. The name of the church is True Grace Tabernacle on Facebook. If you will be in the Hattiesburg, MS area, the church address is 301 Humble Avenue, Suite 147 Hattiesburg, MS 39401. My email address is tamikadford14@gmail.com. Thank you in advance, God Bless!!!!

Gift of Word of Knowledge

The next revelation gift is Word of Knowledge, and I won't spend as much time on this one as I did with the gift of Word of Wisdom. These two revelation gifts are often used simultaneously though. Word of knowledge always reveals something to the believer through the Holy Ghost about something in the present tense (happening now) or in the past tense (has already happened). This gift focuses on people's needs at the moment. For example, a minister (or just a lay person) may receive a word from the Lord that a certain individual is without food, but the person has not told them (or anybody per se) that they need food. The Spirit provides that Word of Knowledge and the believer goes ahead and go to the grocery store and stock up on items to take to the person's home without any previous communication for confirmation that what they are believing is actually true. When they arrive at the home with the bags of groceries, the individual who opens the door might not even acknowledge that they are hungry. They might just take the bags and say thank you and God bless you and send them on their way. The way the gift of Word of Knowledge works is that the person who the gift is working through might not ever get a confirmation in the natural realm that what they heard the voice of the Lord say in the Spirit realm was actually true, but they go in faith anyway knowing, trusting, and believing that the word will not return void. Sometimes this gift can cause people to become arrogant and suffer spiritual wounds when they are not verbally told by somebody else that they are right. On the other hand, this is not to say that everybody who feels led to bless somebody else with food or money or just to do something nice is operating in the gift of word of knowledge. But this gift goes deeper than just the casual golden rule of sharing, giving, and treating others as you want to be treated. Word of Knowledge reveals things to the Spirit-filled believer that helps them to understand situations and circumstances. It helps them detect who their enemies are and where danger is lurking. It reveals Satan's strategies and plans as they relate to the kingdom of darkness, such as witchcraft and spells, eminent danger such as plots to kill, steal, destroy. Word of knowledge also allows the believer to hear in the Spirit when others are gossiping about them and planning to do evil against them. This gift provides weapons for the believer to use to strip the devil and his cohorts of their armor and beat them down to defeated foes. It reveals answers to individuals such as right answers on tests/exams or driving directions in lost areas where no human intervention is available. NOTE: Some people may possess a gift of knowledge such as just mentioned and may get answers right on tests or find places where they've never driven before but this does not mean that they are always being led by the Spirit of Christ. Remember Satan has knowledge and power too, but his gifts are not Christ-centered and does not glorify God but rather promotes the selfishness of the flesh, pride, and lust. Word of Knowledge reveals something to an individual about someone else that they already know. The one who receives the word of knowledge might not know, but the person they're talking to does know and by that word they receive confirmation that God is going to heal, bless, promote, etc. Again, as I stated that there are some very gifted people in the world but that does not automatically mean they are filled with the Holy Ghost. When someone who has the Gifts of the Holy Ghost after being filled with the Gift of the Holy Ghost, then their lives will bear fruit that will be in agreement with God's word and holiness, and they will focus more on pleasing God rather than wanting themselves or their gift to be the center of attention.
