I have a good friend who has a strong gifting in words of knowledge. He laid hands on me to impart this gift because Jesus taught freely we have received, freely we can give (cf. Matthew 10:8). Since that time, I have noticed a dramatic increase in the frequency and accuracy of my words of knowledge. Just recently I was having lunch with another friend who knew the owner of the restaurant. The owner came out to talk with us and as she was speaking I asked God if there was anything she needed prayer for. He highlighted the back of her shoulder. During a break in the conversation I inquired if she had any pain or problems with her shoulder and pointed to the specific area on my own shoulder. She exclaimed, "You have no idea!" and then proceeded to tell us how she had recently fallen on that exact spot and was experiencing severe pain. She allowed my friend and I to pray for her shoulder and all the pain went away!
Last week I had an opportunity to pray for people after a church service. Before heading up to the front to pray, I asked God to show me what He was going to heal. He told me shoulder and lower back. The first person who came up for prayer had problems with his lower back. I told him God had just told me about a shoulder and lower back. He responded by telling me that he also could not lift his arm over his head because of shoulder pain. Why he didn't mention this issue to begin with I don't know but after praying he was able to lift his arms over his head without any pain! God is good!
"As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give." Matthew 10:7-8
