Word of Knowledge Testimony

In the previous post, I introduced the spiritual gift of words of knowledge. Since that time, I had my first experience using this gift in the context of healing. I was part of a ministry team that traveled to Utah with Kris Vallotton. Kris was the guest speaker at a church conference in Ogden (just north of Salt Lake City). During the second Sunday morning service I was sitting at a table in the little café just outside the sanctuary writing a card for our host pastor. All of a sudden I felt this strange pain in my right knee that I had never experienced before. I was trying to figure out why it was hurting when our team leader came rushing to the table and told us to hurry into the sanctuary because the pastor wanted the ministry team to do words of knowledge. As I walked in I realized the pain in my knee was actually the Holy Spirit telling me that someone in the service had a problem with the right knee and needed healing. When I was passed the microphone, I simply asked if there was anyone in the room who had pain in their right knee. A man in the back row stood up and I just declared that God was healing him and encouraged him to test it out. He walked around, did a deep knee bend, and jumped in the air and said that it felt better! Witnessing the power of the Holy Spirit first hand is humbling, inspiring, challenging, exciting, and truly amazing. It makes me want more of His presence!
