Re: Gifts Of The Spirit
For the most part I think LS got the gifts right in his book.
This is a funny area because the bible does not give a lot of details and really some of this is pure experience.
Perhaps a word of knowledge is to know certain facts about someone or a situation and word of wisdom is what to do.
I've had experiences where I was praying about someone's situation and it came to me what they needed to do. One time I was praying and after that, I wondered if this was really God and the thought came to me, when I came home that person would be on the telephone.
When I came home that person WAS on the telephone with my roomie. He hadn't called or anything in a month or so. After I told him what came to me while praying he said that he had been thinking that he needed to do that very thing.
