What do you call it when you pray stuff you don't know about people?

What do you call it when you pray for someone, and you pray about needs that they haven't shared with you? I usually put that in the 'word of knowledge' category. But when it first started happening, I didn't even know it was happening until the people told me. I didn't 'know' necessarily about the people, but just went with the flow and prayed it. Is it more of a prophecy thing?

I would call that a word of knowledge. You are not telling them what is going to happen, you are just aware of something that is already happening. I experience that as well and find great comfort in it. You know the Lord is there when you suddenly know something you had no way of knowing.

I also have had that experience.

However would not call it a "Word of Knowledge" unless you actually give some a "Word".

If I am praying and the Lord leads me to pray for a particular person then later find out the person was in trouble, I would simply say; "the Lord lead me to pray for John Doe".
