Spirit of Knowledge (Daily Devotional)

Greetings, it's so exciting to be studying about the Holy Spirit and to understand how He leads us, how He strengthens us, how He guides us. Today, we will look at the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of knowledge. He is the Spirit who brings us supernatural knowledge. There is an incident when Jesus meets a Samaritan woman and in talking to the Samaritan woman, He tells her condition, her lifestyle and the very things that are happening in her life. In John chapter four, verses 16 to 20 this is what happens, ‘Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; In that you spoke truly.” The woman said to Him, “sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.’ Jesus, without even knowing this person, is able to tell her that the person that she is with, is not her husband. She acknowledges that fact and she's amazed, she calls Jesus a prophet, somebody who is able to foretell things or somebody who is able to have supernatural knowledge. How is it possible? Jesus was empowered by the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit can impart knowledge that we do not carry naturally. Another incident is in the life of Simeon. We read about him that through the Holy Spirit, he knew that he would not die until he sees the Messiah. How did all these individuals know something that they could not know in their natural capabilities? It could only happen through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit being God is omniscient, He knows all things, He knows the past, He knows the present, He knows the future. Depending on what it is that we need, He is able to take pieces of information and release it to us. When we pray, when we depend on God, we depend on the Holy Spirit, He is able to give us this information that we need to keep moving forward. This information could be helpful for our own lives because we may not know what decisions we need to make or while praying for somebody, when we speak forth something about that person's life, it greatly blesses that individual and we see that this is called as a gift of the Holy Spirit, the word of knowledge which comes through the Holy Spirit. So, we can bless others with this kind of information or in our own lives, God is able to guide us, lead us, by providing the knowledge that we need. No knowledge is outside of the Holy Spirit’s scope. He is able to reveal those things to us and we can run with those things, and we can live a winning life. Let's pray together, Heavenly Father, we thank you that God, you are so gracious that you impart to us from your knowledge. You know all the things that we need today to keep running this race and Lord, we pray that you will bring revelation to our hearts, strengthen us, in Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
