I mean the "Word of Knowledge" like telling people they're being healed of the specific thing. Or telling them they're going to get help with a specific financial thing. etc. (Not based on anything they could already know.)

  1. word of knowledge is being given knowledge by the holy spirit and being psychic is your own interpretation and vision of the future or someone elses.


  2. Having the word of knowledge deals with the knowledge or understanding that are acquired through learning or taining.

    Being psychic deals with the abilities that are inborn, but specifically having to do with the paranormal. One can be an expert on the word of knowledge and may have full understanding about the paranormal and psychic phenomena, and yet not being a psychic himself.

  3. I think "word of knowledge" is a misinterpreted scripture that religion (mainly charasmatic) uses to state one has gifts from the holy spirit. I feel Word of Knowledge is as simple as it sounds. Having knowledge.  

    The psychic has the gift to see into the future, but  

    isn't using their gift to glorify God. The gift to see into the future in the church sense ( in my opinion) is to use the gift to draw people to Christ by messaging what God wants them to know and to do to be saved.

  4. In some ways it's all connected.

    Word of knowledge is knowing, basically from personal experiences. We can learn from the spiritual world, spirits. Perhaps words of knowledge I believe comes from within ourselves, our spirit perhaps lived many past life's to where this gained knowledge is stored.

    Being Psychic to me is being open, and sensitive, enough to tap into these abilities of ESP....energy-electromagnetic waves, channel spirits, telepathy, and more.

    We all have the capabilities of ESP -psychic abilities build within ourselves.....Do we have enough gain knowledge within our spirits to know how to use it....because some of us are newly spirits created and not had enough experience to have gain the knowledge to use it well enough. We are all connected and so is these ESP~ psychic abilities:)

    I hope you understand this from my point of view, my perspective...or is it a feel of the experiences of past life knowledge ~ ...............................

  5. Not much I guess.

    The only difference I can see is that being psychic may give you more knowledge of what's going on in the future and in places people would keep defiantly guarded.

    Whereas when you have the "Word of Knowledge" you know more about what's going on around you, this gives you an opinion and an outlook which, in turn, would give you the ability to predict an outcome to something.

  6. well psychic is from evil sprits while knowledge is something you know etc.

  7. The difference is "Word of Knowledge" is a purely religious concept from the modern Christian fundamentalist/evangelical movement, and psychic ability is not. Why don't you ask this in R&S?
