But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit. I Corinthians 12:8

The gift of the word of knowledge refers to the ability to know facts about a situation that could not have been known by natural or human means. This allows us to see as God sees! This is a much-needed gift for the church today!
A certain couple, Ananias and Sapphira brought their offering to the apostles and kept back part of the proceeds and lied about it and Peter had a word of knowledge and rebuked them, saying,"Why have you conceived this thing in your heart?" You have not lied to men but to God." When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last!
Shortly after this Sapphira came in and also lied to Peter saying that their land sold for a certain amount, and she suffered the same fate and dropped dead at his feet. Peter utilized this extraordinary gift of a word of knowledge to expose the deeds of darkness! What if this was used in today's worldly church?
So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things. Acts 5:11
