The Gift Of Knowing

To any attentive observer, the Western world is in serious trouble. It shows the signs of languishing under a devastating disease. This is clearer nowhere else than in the realm of epistemology, the study of truth and how we attain it. Here, the belief in human autonomy—the freedom of individual men and women to interpret the world and live within it as they see fit—has slowly eroded any foundation for knowledge or morality. The result is a society adrift, floating wherever the tide might take it. If the disease ravaging our society is the belief in human autonomy, the cure is submission once again to the God who created this world, at least that is the argument of the Gift of Knowing. The author argues that apart from submission to God as He has revealed Himself in the Christian Bible, there is no firm foundation for truth or a trustworthy way of attaining it. However, through His revelation in Scripture, God has given His people a foundation for knowing the world He has created and living within it.

A little girl growing up with experiences that she felt that no one could explain. Day after day, year after year, fighting and hiding from an unexplainable force of power. Afraid to tell anyone and feeling alone and helpless. She started hearing a soft voice that made her start to think that she wasn't a normal little girl. A soft voice that was guiding her and protecting her daily. A soft voice that told her things that would happen beforehand. She shares her inner most personal experiences that kept her shackled and tied up inside. Bound and stuck for many years, but no one from the outside would have ever known. She struggled with a power that she had no idea what it was and why it was taken over her. For several year of going through her life of confusion, she fights her fear and finds out that she has a gift that God has given her from birth. A gift that is so powerful that she feels that there has to be many people in the world with the same gift. She wants to share her life story to help other people that are fighting and hiding from their special gift, so they can live their lives the way God intended them to live. So they can know that they are normal and have a spiritual power called, "The Gift of Knowing."
