What is the Spiritual Gift of The Word of Wisdom?
The gift of the Word of Wisdom is like unto prophecy and the word of knowledge. It's a like prophecy because it deals with things that are to come, giving a prescription for things that are to come. And it's like the word of knowledge, because it is a spiritual knowing.
"I just know that this is what you're supposed to do."
" When this happens, then you're supposed to do this type of thing."
So the word of wisdom is a word of instruction that is given supernaturally to the individual for present to future events.
Prescriptive For The Present and Future
With the gift of the word of wisdom, The Holy Spirit uses an individual to instruct another on the way or path that God would have them to take.
And when this Word of Wisdom is given, it often times, is paired with a word of knowledge, or even prophecy, because you would have to know the situation that they're in, and that will deal with the word of knowledge, and then you'd have to know, by The Holy Spirit, what God's intent is and what His plan for the person is, and so this goes into the realm of prophecy.
It's like the bridge in between the word of knowledge and the gift of prophecy.
But the word of wisdom as it was shared earlier, focuses on giving a prescription, answer or instruction as to what to do when a particular situation arises, so that you can get the result that God intends for you to receive.
The Word of Wisdom is prescriptive for the present and future.
