Psychic Christian

TimFaraos, I do not know where the mods are on this site, but these Anne V. Sites are about people openmindedly sharing their experiences. It is not about one-sided lecturing on a person's religious beliefs. Everyone here has slightly different perspectives, and we learn from one another. I do not hear you ask many questions. But I hear you do a lot of preaching. How much did the Greek Orthodox Church rewrite the bible? In one of your posts, you talk about Jesus in the Old Testatment. This is not specifically a Christian site. It supports all religious perspectives. I hope to hear you ask questions so you can learn from the wonderful people here.

For the relationship of psychic gifts with God & christianity, see my prophile. Good luck. God bless!

well I agree I didn't know what was a good deed or bad deed I feel that I'm special I see myslef more as a "child" of god then a psychic of god, me instead of healing I like action like defending and protecting but I can understand you a whole lot don't worry but I'll give you advice stay very close to psychic power's never trie to lose them... Trust me

😊

Wings' awesome posting I can feel the depth of your words and positive energy. I agree the Divines way of communication.

Wings,

It's a little of both... Pray about it and things will be revieled in time... 😉

Don't try rushing into anything. Take the time to understand your gift (s). Learn how to use them and understand where they come from / why you have them... And whatever else you do always be on the look out for the Deciever. This is not an easy road and sometimes the 'soft' path actually can lead you astray. Be careful, Go with Heavenly Father and be well.

Respectfully,

Thank you so so much guys! All of you! So much information and love from people who don't even know me. I really appreciate all of the support and guidance! This is what faith is all about. I have been reading up on the Holy Spirit's gifts, I was wondering... How do I discover what I've been given? Do I ask God to reveal them? Or will the be revealed in time? Thanks again to each and every one of you who took the time to respond! Much love!

I have a good relationship with God and after many years of knowing of my gifts I am sure that they are gifts from him and that I can either do great things with them or terrible things. Just like everything in life you have to be careful what you chose to do with it, as many people here have said. I do not use my gifts willingly, whatever comes to me comes because God wants me to see it, besides that I have learned not to go "looking" for things. I do not give out readings, because that is not what these gifts are for. We are not to be giving out fortunes of others. Once you know what you should an should not do with your gifts you'll understand that they are not bad at all, it just depends on how you use them. Many people in the bible were "psychic" in fact, they had prophetic dreams that were sent to them by God. Just look at Joseph. When you have an extraordinary gift such as this it just means you have a very special mission here on Earth that these gifts will help you fulfill. I encourage you to ask God to guide you to find that mission and the using of your gifts. Also I wouldn't use them unless called upon to do so, in time you'll understand what I mean. You should also note that just because you are psychic and its okay that not all things psychic related, for example talking to spirits, and not everything people tell you to do is right under the eyes of God. So be mindful, and ask for his guidance.

Here's something else that might help you decide but I forgot about it until now. Everyone is pyschic, whether they know it or not. If God wanted us all to not have the gifts that we do, then few would have it. The reason why most people don't understand why they are psychic is (mostly, I think) that they refuse to accept what science has not yet been able to explain. They therefore don't believe in it and block out their most natural of gifts.

Also, I have one gift in particular that most people don't know about or have. I carry a huge sense of love towards everyone and can feel it coming down to me from another source. It just feels so pure that it's hard not to cry when feeling or thinking of it. It's an all comsuming love that surronds everyone and I am one of the few that can feel it. If this was from the devil then I would be suprised and I probably wouldn't believe it.

Hope this helps you out. Love is all around you.

Many different people have provided their point of view here and the overall belief seems to be that these abilities are not evil. I've read research that goes back... Way back to the acient hebrew meanigs of the words and how their orignal meanings have been altered as the bible has been translated... (A Couple of links with extensive research are... Http://www.hollowhill.com/fun/halloween/witch-bible.htm and http://www.proteuscoven.org/proteus/Suffer.htm)

Both show where a possible 'mistranslation' has altered the meaning of Exodus 22:18 "Thou shalt not suffer a Witch to Live."

I'm am Christian, I hold the Priesthood for the Church I attend and I have a 'couple' of 'gifts' of my own. I feel they are 'Of God' and I have them that I may better Teach and/or Help others and I do my best to use them for this purpose.

We can all offer the reasons why we think being psychic is 'good or bad' but the best way you can learn this is for yourself. Follow the example in 'Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." (Pray about it...)

A religion was born from one man doing this so you should be able to find your answers in the same manner...

(for those who know me, my apoligies, but this one could not be answered in any other way)

My faith in God is very strong, and because he is such a presence in my life, this was something that I was always confused about. I'm often not given a choice of whether my 'gifts' are used. People's emotions and feelings seek ME out. My other gifts, I have some control over. But after much contemplation, I feel as if as long as I'm not doing the Devil's work with my abilities, then I am doing alright in God's eyes.

I've heard that the gifts can come from God or the Devil. But as ButterflySpirit said, you can turn something horrible to something good. Don't think that just because you are told that it came from an evil source that it has to remain that way. There are many ways to view a situation, and they can be good or bad. A car crash, for example, can show that someone wasn't paying attention to the road (bad) but it can teach someone to forgive (good). It is a matter on how you view things and what you do for/with them.

No offense to anyone else reading this, but I believe that there is no true religion. Power like that would just drive someone crazy. It had to be spread out among many people. Those people had to get others to believe in them and therefore had to have opposing ideas. Each religion holds some sembalence of the "truth" and can be found.

So at the same time, God is in every religion and being worshiped by everyone. There will always be some light on your path no matter how dark it gets.

p.s. I'm a christian I go to church every Sunday and I teach religion at my local church. I believe that all true religions are essentially the same in philosophy values and result, but we should not mix them, my father is a buddhist and on of his monk freinds said to me: you can dig ten wells with a meter long a depth and not reach water, only by digging one well with ten metere of depth can you truly reach water.
This means that we must choose one path, though still realizing where all the other paths meet, I am christian because I was born one, its a good religion and so there is no point for me to change it, since I get to top of the mountain at the end any way just like my father, even though his path is different.
"there are countless paths to the top of a mountain, but we can all see the moon when we get there." (Japanese proverb)

Wings,
You are not doing anything bad with your abilities, and when you said that you believe that by using your abilities you are getting closer to God, you hit the nail on the head their. It very hard to explain it here on this small little box, but God is not as separate from us as we believe he is. The Bible mentions over and over again that God is in side us as much as he is outside, Jesus himself said: "everything I do is through the father, I alone can't do anything." I believe that our abilities come from being connected to God because I noticed that my abilities work best when I am in a certain mental state. I could still use them from evil of course, Kahlil Gibran says, gives gifts and wonders to everyone, for we all belong to him and we all return to him. Lao-tse a Chinese poet who helped found the religion of Taoism said: "a man who is truly connected to Tao (Tao means path its the word he uses for the creator and the essence of everything AKA God) does good to the good men and also the bad man, because his intimate nature with Tao only allows him to be good." I hope I could help you with this post.

This is how I see things... Religion is a wonderful, but it can often be too black and white. What I mean to say is that religion is man's interpretation of what is righteous and of God. Even though I am young and not well versed in religion and the bible, I know at least that. God (as I see him) is Light, Love, and Knowledge. When you have good intentions you can never sin! The sin with practices of psychic powers, magic, astrology, and countless others is using Gods gifts for evil and denying His power. Think about it... Would God punish you for transforming a gift that could be used for evil into something for helping others? Often the same herb or drug can be used to heal and hurt others. Psychic ability is just like that. It can help or hurt. You can commit sins or righteous acts with it. Take your gift and use it for good and God will bless you!

Light, Love, Peace, and Happiness

I am also a Christian but no longer affiliated with a religion. I am very versed on the Bible and it's true that there are things in the Bible that forbid the practicing of magic and sorcery, and it considers astrology to be "Pagan" which is supposed to be at odds with God. But the truth is that God put in the Bible the information that he wanted us to have, this doesn't mean that there isn't more and now could be the time when he wants us to know more. All I am saying is that there is a big emergence of psychic abilities occurring and it's for the doing of good for the most part, so does God have something to do with it? If it's the Devil, why would he be responsible for the doing of good on such a scale?

I view my gifts as coming from God and I hope to do good with them. It seems that you want to do the same. The problem is that organized religion will shun you because of your gifts and tell you that it isn't from God. So, unfortunately we are left to figure this out on our own and to reconcile our beliefs with what is happening. I used to think I knew "Truth" until my abilities began to manifest, now I have to reset my "Truth", but that is what being open minded is all about, being willing to adjust what you believe when you get new information.

I don't believe you are sinning when you use your gift. God gave you this because he knows you can handle it and you will do good with it. If you choose to do bad with it, well you decide if that's a sin.

The Apostles could see the future or speak in tongues by means of the Holy Spirit. What is "Holy Spirit"? Could it be that this is what we are experiencing today? Was it a sin in Paul's day? Of course not.

Be at peace with it, let god work through you.

Most of Christianity's teachings view psychic abilities of the devil. But there are few who do not view it that way. For example, there are Christians who are gnostic and practice magic.

So it depends on how you yourself as a Christian view it.
