A word of knowledge is a definite conviction, impression, or knowing that comes to you
in a similitude (a mental picture), a dream, through a vision, or by a Scripture that
is quickened to you. It is supernatural insight or understanding of circumstances, situations, problems, or a body of facts by
revelation; that is, without assistance by any human resource but solely by
divine aid.
Furthermore, the gift of the word of knowledge is the transcendental revelation
of the divine will and plan of God.
It involves moral wisdom for right living and relationships,
requires objective understanding concerning divine things in human duties,
and refers to knowledge of God or of the things that belong to God, as related
in the Gospel.
The gifts of the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge function together; knowledge
is raw material and wisdom builds on it.
