I'm new to establishing my faith in Christianity and currently reading the bible cover to cover (I'm very far into to Genesis).
What does the bible say about psychic intuition, I'm aware its against seeking out and visiting psychics, fortune tellers etc but what about if you as an individual have psychic abilities / intuition?
I've had these abilities since I was 4, I have no mental health issues, I get 'information' just drop in all the time and its right every time, its getting stronger with age too, as a child and mostly as a teenager I would see spirits, not as much now at 30 years old though. I can tell certain things about people within a couple of minutes of meeting them, so I'm definitely in tune to something, but I keep this to myself as I know its often made fun of. I also find myself very sensitive to other people's energies and it can wear me out physically real bad if I'm around toxic people.
Is there a possibility that is actually just the holy spirit? And I'm more open to hearing him. I never get told anything bad or evil or do bad things by the way so its not a demon or anything, usually warnings if anything.
None of this deters me from praying or not having faith in God to provide me with answers to things, but sometimes the information that drops in is too much, or really too frequent and it can get too much for me at times and obviously I can't block it out.
Has anyone else dealt with this, or got any advice, scripture I can refer to or knowledge on this stuff in Biblical teachings?
Psychic abilities and/or intuitions have always worked against God in the bible, and especially during the old testament times. One of the most powerful was when Samuel the prophet had passed away, and King Saul was about to go into battle. King Saul always looked toward his prophet for assurance and guidance from God. King Saul decided to go to a psychic, she was called a "Seer" and he asked her to raise up Samuel the prophet and so she did. When Samuel arose, his first words were "who is this that awakens me from my slumber". After a brief explanation from King Saul to the Prophet, the prophet told Saul that because of this act, he would parish in battle. King Saul went ahead with his battle only to lose not only his life, but his son's as well.
When Moses first went to the Pharaoh in Egypt and announced God's demand, "Let my people go". Pharaoh wanted a sign, so Moses commanded called out to the Lord God and his cane became a snake. The pharaoh called upon his sorcerers to replicate the same, and so the sorcerers turned their canes to snakes, but only Moses snake was strong enough to kill both of the Sorcerers snakes.
There are other accounts throughout the scriptures, but the point to be made here is this jessicalek93, if you have repented and have confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you must know that your old self died on the cross with Jesus and you are now a new creation. The old is past. You must put away your old self and focus on the power of the resurrection that is in you, namely Christ Jesus.
Your body is now the temple of the Holy Spirt and not the dwelling place of unholy spirits. Talk to your body in Jesus name and cast them out. Once you do, you may find you have perhaps found a ministry in sharing with psychics about Jesus and what he did for you...just sayin.
Now, there was a woman in the new testament who was owned by two masters. In other words, partners in fortune telling with a very powerful psychic slave. Paul the apostle and Barnabas Paul's companion came upon this woman while preaching at a fair, the woman interrupted Paul's message by saying to all the people that she knew who these men were, about their message, where they were from and who sent them. In other words she was saying, if I can tell you all that about these men, imagine what I could share with you about you. When the Apostle of Christ Jesus saw that she was attempting to draw men away from Salvation toward her profiteering Paul called upon the Holy Spirit, and she became dumb, speechless and her voice was shut. They went out of business.
God does not entertain psychic intuition. Again consider it dead on the cross and accept the fulness of Christ so no Unholy spirit can squat in your temple. Be blessed jessicaleks93. Jesus loves you, don't let Him down.
