What do faith-based researchers say about the psychic world? Most see it as a form of self-gratification.
For example, individuals, unable to deal with the loss of a loved one, want to reconnect via psychics to relieve this grief.
People also seek out psychics to help them with their career, love life or turmoil.


Identification
A psychic, by standard dictionary definition, is someone able to communicate with the spiritual world. The term is used to include mediums; someone channeled by the dead to communicate with the living.
Some psychics merely perceive things not "picked up" by normal senses like sight, smell, hearing and touch. Others claim to predict future events. In short, their events are unexplainable by natural or physical laws.

Significance
In the Bible, Christianity's holy book, God uses several spiritual messengers. Followers were visited by angels, saw visions and had dreams delivering edicts and foretelling future events. Prophets, too, delivered heavenly messages and predicted future events.

Did spiritual messengers end in biblical times? Most Christian authorities say "yes." They believe messages of a spiritual nature come from God, not deceased relatives, and are delivered via prayer or lessons learned. Cult specialist and V.P. of Christian Information Ministries Russ Wise says psychics attempt to "be as or like God" and lead people into "spiritual darkness."


Theories/Speculation
So, what does Jesus say about psychics? The Bible is laced with directives to avoid psychics and other unholy messengers. But these words come from Moses, the Apostle John and other authors. The words are not directly from Jesus.

In Christianity, Jesus receives his orders, as do all believers, from God. Though mentioned in the New Testament, scriptures quoting God's orders to avoid psychics are primarily part of the Old Testament prior Jesus' birth. Since the Bible indicates Jesus did not sin against God, we must assume he followed God's orders.

Versus like Deuteronomy 18:10-11 issue directives stating no citizen may "practice black magic, or call on the evil spirits for aid, or be a fortune teller, or be a serpent charmer, medium, or wizard, or call forth the spirits of the dead."

Considerations
Many biblical scriptures reference psychics and similar mediums. Leviticus 20:6 indicates those seeking consultation of mediums will be isolated from their community. In 1 John 4:1-3, people are warned about "false prophets," and in 2 Chronicles 33:6 mankind is told those who consult psychics anger God. The Old Testament threatened psychics with the punishment of death.

Effects
The world's fascination with psychics has caused some skeptics to demand proof. Professional magician James Randi regularly "debunks" psychic activity by showing how the farce is conducted.

Cash incentives have even attempted to lure psychics into proving their craft. Scientific American, in 1922, offered $5,000 to those able to confirm their psychic abilities. Though some were tested, all proved false and the money was never collected. Similarly, James Randi put up 1 million dollars for anyone demonstrating legitimate psychic abilities. Similar challenges were issued in Austrailia, New Zealand and the UK.

Now, what of those that are born that way? Or you do not believe that was possible? And cannot seem to turn it off?

Omo Alata:

Then they become prophets, not psychics

Omo Alata:

Then they become prophets, not psychics

wissezy: Yeah, some are born with already opened third eye, while some open theirs thru meditation, and once open it can't be closed. Its better not to be opened if u can't control it. It can drive u mad.

So what exactly is a Pxychic? What's the difference between the Christian psychics (Pxychics) at Christianpsychics.biz and other psychics online?

A Pxychic is a psychically sensitive and gifted person who has Christ Jesus in the center of their heart.

Christian, and Psychic?
There is simply no question that the Gifts of the Spirit, or psychic sensitivities, are the manifestations of the Holy Spirit working through us, the body of Christ. We were promised these gifts at Christs ascention, and told to use them.

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" John 14:12,13.

How Do I Know?
How do I KNOW this is from God, and not the devil?
How do I prove this is Holy Spirit Perception, HSP, not ESP which could come from anywhere

1 Thessalonians 5:19-21; "Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."

1 John 4:1-3 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they, are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is in the world."

Deuteronomy 18:21-22: "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

Numbers 12:6 "And he said, hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream."

Daniel 10:17 "For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me."

Daniel 10:18 "Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me."

Jeremiah 28:9 "The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord hath truly sent him."

Logicboy03: Old testament says they should kill fortune tellers!

pastormustwacc:
Buy now, how do you distinguish between those using familiars and those that operate under the spirit of Christ?
I am not in the same classes as witches i believe? And i am yet to fall under ministration - been for deliverance under so many great men of God - both the real ones and the ones using demons, might be that i need someone to slap it out of me.

italo:

My friend, whether you are using "familiars" or "spirit of Christ" you should go and unite yourself with Christ's Church and let it nourish you with the teachings of Christ. Even the people who you are going to for deliverance are not necessarily known by Christ.

Matt.7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

You can do everything in God's name and he still wouldn't know you.

Not to cause controversy, just a word of advice.

pastormustwacc:
I mentioned that i am born again, did i not? So when you are telling me to identify with the body of christ? Do you see me as an unbeliever? In fact i am a worker in R.C.C.G just so you know.

italo:
No, I didn't see you as an unbeliever. I saw you as a believer who possibly has a great spiritual gift/problem and wasn't in union with Christ's Church. If it is a gift, you should harness it within Christ's Church. If it is a problem, you will solve it within Christ's Church. But if you think that RCCG is the Church that Jesus founded 2000 years ago, and not one of the thousands of so-called "churches" founded by men, then I will leave you to your decision...that we may not derail the thread.

Agiliti: when they see visions, isn't that the same thing as a regular person being superstitious?

pastormustwacc:
Derailment: you can use google to research that. It is beyond the scope of this thread. But i am a "regular" person i think.

Agiliti:
how is this derailment? whats the difference between tb joshua and a fortune teller? yes their methods and success rates are different, but don't they essentially do the same thing which is predict the future?

pastormustwacc: The purposes of this thread is to know views of people, and possible advises.


Physically - yes (but spiritually - No), this is one of the reasons why i always warn people not to get carried away by someone using supernatural powers.

Concerning Pastor T.B Joshua, i prefer not to talk about him on this thread (for reaons i will rather not discuss).

Fortune tellers / psychics using dark powers, can alter people's destinies - they are false prophets - and will lead people ultimately to doom (like King Saul).

In case you are not aware, the bible tells us that even false prophets can do miracles. And the antichrist is said to be able to call down fire from heaven like elijah, causing people to believe.

Agiliti:

so if you say psychics are false prophets, and you say you are a psychic....does that make you a false prophet?
this is the reason why you shouldn't box things up in black or white....every psychic is not a prophet of doom, and every "born again" is not as holy as you think.

to answer your original question, born again christians can be psychics, matter of fact true born again christians are supposed to be psychic because to be born again simply means to be regenerated in the spirit and a psychic is someone who can perceive spiritual forces.
now wether these forces are beneficial or detrimental is a different question

pastormustwacc:

If you read my post well, you will see that i meant there are psychics that use dark powers, and those that use the power of the holy spirit (like me).
My perception has always been beneficial, this is why i know it is from the holy spirit - and it is not from opening the third eye - for the ESPs generated from satanic elements.

If you read the gospel well, you will see many times when Jesus will be said to "perceive what they are thinking", like when they wanted to trap him to pay tribute to ceaser. "give to ceaser what belongs to ceaser". And many other times too, he could read their intentions, and know things like knowing that lazarus was dead (while his disciples that are always with him have no idea). What i have just described now is similar to clairvoyance and empathy.

Whatever you call them. Jesus told us that the things He did, we will do also. This means that those abilities were not lost to mankind.

Add all that to:

Acts 2:17
"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."

This means something now does it not? To me it seems like precognitive abilities. Visions is tantamount to clairvoyance.

Agiliti:

ok, im trying to understand so i don't make any wrong assumptions...so basically, you're saying there are 2 types of spiritual forces
1.that you can see from your third eye...which is bad
2.that you can perceive from the holy spirit which is good
is that right?

pastormustwacc:
Wrong, all these good and bad stuffs are not really like that. To be honest, i did not know how true the third eye stuff is - it is beyond me.
I only operate on 2 levels: the human mind and the holy spirit.

i want to believe that all psychics can draw energy directly from their human minds (the normal human mind is not as ordinary as you think). Then those with the holy spirit or demons can draw additional energy from the spirit they posses.


Search google for "psychic assasins". From here on, ask google your questions. You wont believe the actual number of people reading all this and taking notes.

I have a question for you: do you think mediums operate with the power of the holy spirit or dark forces? Wikipedia explains very well what a medium is supposed to be able to do - since you seem interested.

*It took me like 30 minutes or so to make this post, i had to be very careful about what i post - weighing cost and benefits*
