God will give us knowledge, skill, learning, wisdom and understanding in visions and dreams (Daniel 1:17) As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
In the early morning I saw myself eating the word "KNOWLEDGE". I asked the Holy Spirit the meaning and then began searching for the meaning of the vision through scripture. I also found this website which explained the meaning of a word of knowledge and would like to share it with you.
A word of knowledge is a definite conviction, impression, or knowing that comes to you in a similitude (a mental picture), a dream, through a vision, or by a Scripture that is quickened to you. It is supernatural insight or understanding of circumstances, situations, problems, or a body of facts by revelation; that is, without assistance by any human resource but solely by divine aid.
Furthermore, the gift of the word of knowledge is the transcendental revelation of the divine will and plan of God. It involves moral wisdom for right living and relationships, requires objective understanding concerning divine things in human duties, and refers to knowledge of God or of the things that belong to God, as related in the Gospel.
The gifts of the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge function together; knowledge is raw material and wisdom builds on it.
The Spirit of Knowledge (Daath - Oida)
The Spirit of Knowledge means "experiential" knowledge. It means something you know through "living experience" of it working in your life. Some people understand the Bible backwards and forwards, and yet, they still do not have this kind of intimate knowledge of God-they don't know His Life as their own.
The Greek word for intimate knowledge is oida. Oida knowledge of God means that God's Life has come forth from our hearts and is now flooding our souls. It means that His Agape Love has become our Love, His supernatural Thoughts have become our thoughts and His Power, our power. In other words, we have exchanged lives with Him. We have given God our own life (our own thoughts, emotions and desires that are contrary to His), and in return, He has given us His. This is intimate knowledge of God. "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)
Two Ways to Know God
See, there are really two ways we can "know" God:
1) Oida knowledge, which means intimate knowledge of God; or,
2) We can simply know Christ as Savior. And the Greek word for this kind of knowledge is ginosko, which means impartial, objective knowledge that we gain from reading books about God or from what we hear others say. I like to call ginosko knowledge "beginning knowledge" or knowledge with lots of self effort (or "works"). It's simply knowing Christ after the flesh. This is where many Christians spend most of their spiritual life.
The Hebrew word for "beginning knowledge" is yada. And yada in the Old Testament often refers to the marriage act. It's interesting because we can be married to someone and even have sex with them for years, and yet never actually experience that intimacy that God designed for each of us to have. We are simply "going through the act." The physical act alone is not what gives us intimacy. Intimacy occurs when our hearts, souls and bodies become one.
And it's the same thing with our relationship with Jesus. We can know Him as Savior and yet still be totally consumed with ourselves and thus conformed to this world. God says the result of this way of thinking is captivity, imprisonment, and total bondage to the flesh. "My people are destroyed for lack of (intimate) knowledge...." (Hosea 4:6)
Knowing God Intimately
Oida knowledge is a mingling of two things - a union- like a
marriage relationship. We not only have become one heart with God as a
result of our born again experience, but we have also become one will
and one life with Him. This is what Matthew 22:37 means when it says we are to "love God" (agapao) - we are to so bind ourselves with Him that we actually become one.
Oida comes from the root word, eidon, which means "to see." To "intimately know" Jesus means to see Him in everything. In every circumstance of our lives, good or bad, we see His face, His handprint, and His Love.
Remember the Old Testament saints, who "endured" because "they saw Him Who was invisible." (Hebrews 11:27) And Job, who exclaimed, "I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear (beginning knowledge); but now mine eye seeth Thee (intimate knowledge)." (Job 42:5)
The purpose of all of our lives as Christians is to intimately know the Lord of the Universe, not only as our Savior, our Lord, our Master, our Friend, and our Counselor, but as our very life itself. Like Paul, we should be able to say, "For me to live is Christ...." (Philippians 1:21)
Intimate knowledge of Christ is the climax of our relationship with Him. We have finally let go of "self-life" and have been filled with His Life.
As Philippians 3:8,10 says, "...I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may win Christ." (emphasis added) "That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death."
Knowing Christ as our very Life itself-becoming one with Him-is a completely different kind of knowledge than many of us have ever experienced. This is the type of knowledge that the Mind of Christ brings us.
"Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established: and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches."
Proverbs 24:3-4
